During an interview on the Battleground Podcast, TNA President Carlos Silva addressed rumors that Joe Hendry is expected to leave the company and join WWE full-time.

It was reported last month that Hendry is in the process of being phased out of TNA ahead of joining WWE on a full-time basis by the start of 2026. At the moment, Hendry remains under contract with TNA while also being featured in NXT. He is coming off a victory against Eric Young at TNA Victory Road.

Silva did not deny that Hendry will eventually end up joining WWE, but he told the Battleground Podcast that Hendry is still on the TNA roster at the moment.

“That’s correct,” Silva responded when asked if Hendry is still a TNA star. “Yes, he is. You know, he is until he’s not. But he is. And Joe’s been great. Joe’s been great for us. Joe’s been great with WWE and NXT. We’ll continue to sort of work through that as good partners do.”

Hendry, a former TNA World Champion, has made frequent appearances for NXT during the WWE-TNA partnership, along with showing up at the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania earlier this year. He’ll be working a live event for NXT in Florida this weekend.

Next Tuesday’s NXT episode is an NXT vs. TNA Showdown special. In storyline, the TNA roster has questioned where Hendry’s loyalties lie — and Mike Santana did not select him for Team TNA because of that.

The 37-year-old Hendry is from Scotland with a background in amateur wrestling and music.
