Joe Hendry has taken the WWE Universe by storm. The rising star has quickly worked his way to the top of NXT and TNA and is also moving forward with another gig. Hendry will join one of the biggest WWE Superstars in history for an upcoming show.

The Prestigious One returned to TNA at Bound For Glory 2022 and has been pushed ever since. Fans began demanding the longest-reigning Digital Media Champion to appear in WWE in late May when Jordynne Grace debuted on NXT to kick off the WWE - TNA working relationship. Hendry debuted less than one month later and had been working championship feuds with main event stars or upper midcard talents.

Hendry is looking to return to WWE NXT as TNA World Champion. He will challenge Nic Nemeth for the title at Bound For Glory on Saturday, October 26, where The Hardys will also compete in a key match to become three-time World Tag Team Champions in Full Metal Mayhem against ABC and champions The System. TNA will tape Impact episodes that Sunday, also from the Wayne State University Fieldhouse in Detroit, Michigan.

While the 20th annual Bound For Glory weekend will be special for many stars, Hendry and Hardy are set to have a uniquely remarkable Sunday night. The musician-wrestlers have been announced for One Night Only, Live & In-Concert: Jeff Hardy and Joe Hendry.

The Charismatic Enigma and The King of the Entrances are hosting their concert in conjunction with Sunday's TV tapings, at the same venue. TNA indicated that the concert with Jeff and Joe will be taped to air later on Impact. The concert appears to be scheduled for after the normal matches and segments.

Halloween is just days after Bound For Glory, so fans were encouraged to dress up like Hardy and Hendry to be eligible for giveaways. Twenty random fans who dress like either star will receive an exclusive limited-edition photo; one fan will win a Meet & Greet with Joe plus a photo-op and autographed 8x10 photo; one fan will win a Meet & Greet with Jeff plus a photo-op and autographed 8x10 photo.


WWE Superstars set for Bound For Glory

The working relationship between WWE and TNA will continue at the latter's biggest pay-per-view of the year. The 20th Bound For Glory PPV will air on October 26 from the Wayne State Fieldhouse in Detroit, featuring wrestlers from TNA, NXT, and AAA.

NXT's Wendy Choo will team with Rosemary to challenge Spitfire's Dani Luna and Jody Threat for the Knockouts World Tag Team Championship at Bound For Glory. Choo and Rosemary wrestled NXT's Sol Ruca and Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace to a No Contest on Impact in September, then weeks later, Ruca, Grace, and Masha Slamovich defeated Choo, Rosemary, and Tasha Steelz.

Several NXT Superstars are also rumored for the 20-person Intergender Call Your Shot Gauntlet on the Bound For Glory pre-show. The winner will receive a trophy and a contract for a future championship match of their choosing, at any time.
