Joe Hendry just provided some clarity on his future in WWE. Drew McIntyre's name was also dragged into a heated backstage confrontation.

Joe Hendry is one of the most popular stars in TNA and is known for his charisma and personality. He has been growing in popularity in recent months, which has led Shawn Michaels and co. to take notice.

Hendry shocked the world when he first debuted on NXT a couple of months ago. Last week, Hendry returned to NXT to team with Trick Williams. But that wasn't enough, as he came out during Gallus' match against The Rascalz tonight and took a seat at the commentary table.

Following the match, Gallus was obviously disappointed with the loss and they were discussing Hendry's involvement. When they mentioned his name, he showed up and informed them that they would be seeing a lot more of him since he likes it in NXT. However, Gallus informed him that nobody wanted him there.

They also mentioned that when people think of Scotland, they think of Gallus and Drew McIntyre, not Hendry. The TNA star mentioned that they would feel better if they believed in him.

It remains to be seen if Joe Hendry will be able to replicate the same success he had in TNA in NXT.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
