A non-WWE star recently revealed what Triple H did for him backstage at one of the biggest nights of his career. The company's Chief Content Officer has been doing fantastic stuff behind the scenes since taking over the position in 2022.
One of the biggest surprises at the 2025 Royal Rumble match was the entry of reigning TNA World Champion Joe Hendry. He entered at No. 15 but didn't eliminate anyone. He lasted for about three minutes before being tossed out by Roman Reigns.
In an interview on Rewind Recap Relive, Hendry was asked about what happened before he walked out of the curtain to make his Royal Rumble debut. He revealed that Triple H approached him, and they took a picture together moments before his music played.

"Well on that occasion, I was waiting ready to go. They were saying, ‘We’ll give you the signal.’ And then I see Triple H walking over to me, put his arm around me and we took the photo, so that's what happened right before my music played. It was awesome," Hendry said. [From 00:12 to 00:28]

WWE recently signed a deal with TNA Wrestling which allows the talents from NXT are able to cross over to TNA and vice versa, creating a lot of opportunities and making both products more popular.
Triple H believes in Joe Hendry
Joe Hendry has turned into a huge sensation over the past couple of years. The star finally reached the mountain top at TNA back in January when he defeated Nic Nemeth, formerly known as Dolph Ziggler, at Genesis to become the new TNA World Champion.
Hendry represented TNA at the 2025 Royal Rumble, receiving a good reaction from the Indianapolis crowd. He didn't make a lot of impact in the match, but he certainly helped pave the way for future TNA World Champions likely getting a shot at making a WWE appearance.
The Scotsman also received a huge stamp of approval from Triple H, who believes in Joe Hendry.
As mentioned above by Hendry, this photo was taken right before he came out to make his WWE main roster debut. He previously made an appearance as a Russian diplomat during a segment involving Rusev and Lana in 2014.
