The Rock's WrestleMania 40 training partner sends a bold message after heated backstage confrontation with non-WWE star
After a heated backstage exchange on this week's NXT, a WWE Superstar sent a strong message to TNA wrestler Joe Hendry. The name in question is Joe Coffey, who helped train The Rock for his massive match at WrestleMania XL.
For those unfamiliar, the fearsome Gallus faction members, Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, and Wolfgang, were behind The Brahma Bull's preparation for his epic tag team match against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins at this year's Showcase of The Immortals. The Rock and his cousin, Roman Reigns, went on to defeat the babyface duo on Night One of WrestleMania 40.
Meanwhile, on the July 16 installment of NXT, Gallus faced The Rascalz in a six-man tag team match. However, The Prestigious One came out during the match and joined Booker T. and Vic Joseph on the commentary table.
The heel faction suffered a defeat at the hands of The Rascalz and was seen venting their frustration backstage. When the group mentioned Joe Hendry's name, he popped up on the screen and confirmed he would be sticking around in NXT.
However, The Coffey Brothers and Wolfgang were not on board with having the TNA star. The trio lashed out, telling Hendry that no one liked him in WWE. Later, Joe Coffey took to Twitter (X) to assert that he does not believe in Joe Hendry.
"I believe in only one Joe," he wrote.
Joe Coffey and Gallus have been reportedly discussed for WWE main roster move
The trio of Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, and Wolfgang may have lost their latest match on NXT, but WWE and management seemed to be impressed by the group.
Following their surprise training sessions with The Great One, The Final Boss also publicly acknowledged Gallus, expressing his heartfelt gratitude for their invaluable help in preparing him for The Show of Shows.
According to a backstage update from Fighful Select in May 2024, The Coffey Brothers and Wolfgang were discussed for the main roster call-up during the Draft, but that didn't happen. However, the report also mentioned that the trio was still expected to make their main roster debut in the coming months.
It will be interesting to see if the faction moves to the main roster in the coming months.
