JBL Says He ‘Still Believes in Joe Hendry’ Despite Brutal Attack at TNA Bound for Glory

JBL has been making waves in the wrestling world lately, showing up unannounced at independent events and stirring things up at TNA’s Bound For Glory.

The WWE Hall of Famer created even more buzz after interfering in the TNA World Heavyweight Championship match between Nic Nemeth and Joe Hendry, where he took out multiple stars, including Hendry himself, with his signature Clothesline From Hell. But now, in a surprising turn, JBL has broken his silence and expressed support for Hendry, despite the chaos he caused.

Following the event, Joe Hendry posted a photo on social media, capturing the brutal moment when JBL attacked him. JBL responded directly to the post, writing that he still “believes in Joe Hendry.” This comment has left fans confused about JBL’s intentions, especially given his disruptive actions that potentially cost Hendry the TNA World Championship.

During the climactic moments of the Bound For Glory match, Hendry seemed on the verge of securing a victory against Nic Nemeth. Frankie Kazarian even attempted to cash in his Call Your Shot trophy, but his plans were derailed when JBL emerged from the crowd. The self-proclaimed “Keeper, guardian of professional wrestling” delivered a Clothesline From Hell to Kazarian, Hendry, and Ryan Nemeth—clearing the path for Nic Nemeth to retain the championship after a series of brutal moves.

Fans in Detroit rallied behind Hendry with chants of “We Believe,” but it wasn’t enough, as Nic Nemeth sealed the win with a Superkick and another Danger Zone. Despite the setback, JBL’s comment about believing in Hendry has ignited speculation about whether he sees potential in Hendry or if he plans to involve himself further in TNA’s storylines.

JBL’s unexpected appearance at Bound For Glory has left the wrestling world buzzing, especially as the former WWE star hinted that his actions were for the greater good of the business. After recently undergoing stem cell therapy, JBL seems poised for an in-ring return, and many are wondering if this feud with Joe Hendry will escalate further.

Where this storyline will lead is still up in the air, but one thing is clear—JBL’s involvement has only intensified the spotlight on Hendry, who remains a fan favorite despite the setback. Whether the “guardian of professional wrestling” intends to help or hinder Hendry going forward remains to be seen.
