Joe Hendry Teases Inviting John Cena to TNA Wrestling

Joe Hendry is setting the stage for a monumental moment at Bound for Glory 2024, where he will challenge current TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth. Ahead of the pay-per-view, Hendry dropped a tantalizing teaser: if he captures the TNA World Championship, he might extend an invitation to none other than WWE legend John Cena.

Speaking with Sports Central LA, Hendry floated the idea of Cena crossing over to TNA Wrestling. “Let’s put it this way,” Hendry said. “If I can get my hands on the TNA World Championship, what kind of champion would I be if I didn’t invite John Cena to cross the line into TNA Wrestling. That’s just hypothetical.”

While Hendry acknowledged that the idea is purely hypothetical, fans are already buzzing about the possibility. Cena’s confirmed 2025 farewell tour with WWE has added to the intrigue. The 16-time World Champion is set to compete in the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber on his way to what will be his final WrestleMania as a competitor at WrestleMania 41.

With Cena making global appearances during his farewell tour, Hendry’s playful challenge has sparked speculation among wrestling fans. Could TNA’s rising momentum and Hendry’s ambition entice Cena to make a surprise appearance?

First, Hendry has to overcome the formidable Nic Nemeth, who has proven to be a dominant force since joining TNA Wrestling. Bound for Glory 2024 will see these two clash for the TNA World Championship on Saturday, October 26, live from Detroit, Michigan.
