Booker T, a WWE Hall of Famer and broadcaster, recently shared his thoughts on Joe Hendry’s rise in WWE NXT on the “Hall of Fame” podcast. He questioned whether Hendry should be getting a title shot and expressed surprise at his success, especially in the matchup against NXT Champion Ethan Page with Trick Williams as the special referee.
Booker T questioned the presence of Trick Williams as an official in the match, pointing out that Williams lost his title fairly and should focus on his own business. Williams had lost the NXT Title to Page in a Fatal Four Way Match at NXT Heatwave without being pinned, and his involvement in the upcoming match raised eyebrows.
Hendry earned his title shot after winning a Triple Threat Match with interference from Page. He has been a standout in the crossover between WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling, impressing fans with his debut. The crossover also features TNA X Division Champion Zachary Wentz, who will face his former tag partner at the event.
Overall, Booker T’s insights shed light on the upcoming matchup and the implications for the ongoing crossover between WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling.
