The timing of Hendry's rise could hardly have been better, as it lined up with TNA expanding their WWE partnership. Just as TNA had taken notice of Hendry's online popularity, WWE had done the same.

In June 2024, a few short months after his music went viral, Hendry made his first WWE appearance since a one-off guest spot in 2014, taking part in a battle royale on "WWE NXT." He continued making appearances on the show in the months following his in-ring debut, building to a shot against Ethan Page for the WWE NXT Championship in September. Hendry lost that match, but it was becoming clear that WWE had strong interest in Hendry.

Fast forward to the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble. While still serving as the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Hendry made an appearance in the titular match. Similar to his future WrestleMania appearance, the TNA star lasted for roughly three minutes before being eliminated, this time by Roman Reigns.

Following his brief match against Orton at WrestleMania, Hendry didn't disappear from the face of the earth. He showed back up in "NXT" the following Tuesday, re-entering the title picture. While his future in the company remains to be seen, it's safe to say that WWE seems interested in signing Hendry when his time with TNA comes to an end.
