Joe Hendry Calls Out John Cena For TNA Vs. WWE Match
New TNA World Champion Joe Hendry is ready to take on all challengers, with WWE legend John Cena at the top of his list. Speaking to Busted Open Radio in his first interview since his victory at Genesis 2025, Hendry explained why he’s setting his sights on the 16-time world champion.
“[We are] in an era where anything is happen. And just before Genesis, Triple H tweeted about the show, Shawn Michaels tweeted the show, and John Cena posted the TNA logo on his Instagram. What kind of representative would I be for TNA if I didn’t call out John Cena?”
A potential showdown with Cena would mean Hendry stepping up to the mic against Big Match John, a challenge that Hendry is “1000%” he can handle. While Hendry’s songs and promos have earned him a strong following, the TNA World Champion believes his best work is yet to come.
“I honestly believe that people haven’t seen what I can truly do on the microphone yet… and to me, John Cena is in the top-top echelon of talkers ever.”
Cena kicked off his farewell tour during WWE Raw’s debut on Netflix earlier this month by declaring for the Men’s Royal Rumble match. As part of his final year in the ring, Cena is expected to make between 30 to 40 WWE appearances. In addition to the Royal Rumble, he has been confirmed for Elimination Chamber on March 1, with plans underway for a major match at WrestleMania 41.
