Trick Williams & Joe Hendry Have Awkward Moment Backstage After 7/9 WWE NXT

Trick Williams lost the NXT Title at Heatwave but had a productive time on the July 9 episode of the show. Joe Hendry appeared to help Trick defeat Ethan Page and Shawn Spears in the main event match by simply saying his name.

After their main event win on NXT, Trick Williams remained focused on regaining the NXT Title. He made this clear in a backstage video, with Hendry present.

As Trick Williams acknowledged Hendry, the TNA Wrestling star appeared again. He told Trick he had his back, leading to an awkward moment. Williams went for a fist bump while Hendry went for a handshake. When Trick switched to a handshake, Hendry switched to a fist bump.

The two ended up hugging before parting ways. A hug being a universal gesture allowed them to show respect after their big match. Joe Hendry appears to be making friends on the NXT roster.

We will have to see what is next for Joe Hendry in NXT. He is likely to return, given his popularity and the excitement around the ongoing TNA Wrestling and NXT partnership, especially with the introduction of The Rascalz.

Trick Williams is determined to regain the NXT Title. It remains to be seen how long he will have to wait for a rematch, as Ethan Page doesn’t seem eager to defend his title.
