"WWE No Mercy - NXT Title Match. Who believes? 👏 👏," he wrote.
Joe Hendry says he isn't giving up on a dream match against WWE legend
The Prestigious One recently claimed that a massive showdown against John Cena isn't out of the question. During an appearance on the Gabby AF podcast, Joe Hendry recounted a conversation he had with The Cenation Leader when he was 15 years old.
Later, in an interview with Metro.co.uk, the 36-year-old TNA Wrestling star stated that he is not ruling out a dream match against John Cena, now that he has been making appearances on the NXT brand.
"Are you going to tell me that it’s impossible for me to face John Cena? You can’t tell me it’s impossible, because there would have been people that told me that last week was impossible," Hendry said.
