WWE NXT's Shawn Michaels Wants To Do More With Joe Hendry

Joe Hendry’s WWE NXT debut sent a shockwave throughout the wrestling world in June, with the top TNA star receiving a rapturous ovation when appearing for the black and gold brand.

It seems that Hendry has caught the eye of NXT Head Shawn Michaels, with HBK saying the following about the ‘Local Hero’ during the pre-NXT Heatwave media call:

"Clearly, you could see what it is. It was my first time meeting Joe. Even for me, not being the most skilled social media guy, you see his stuff all the time on social media. Clearly, he's a bright young man. The short dealings that I had with him, I liked him a great deal. Nothing would thrill me more than to have the opportunity to work with Joe Hendry in the future. I think he would tell you the same thing. He's somebody that wants to continue to grow and move up. Right now, nothing to add at this point in time. He's a young man that's very bright and has a bright future. I appreciate the way he's generated this on his own. That always speaks well of somebody. Thinking outside of the box. He's obviously done that and I appreciate the intellect that it takes for somebody to grow outside of the wheelhouse they are in," said Michaels.

Hendry and Michaels filmed a backstage segment during his brief first foray into NXT, hinting that there may be more to come in the future.
