TNA star Joe Hendry has a chance to make wrestling history at “WWE NXT” No Way Out. He’s set to face Ethan Page for the NXT Championship, raising the possibility of a TNA wrestler winning a WWE title. This unusual situation has sparked discussion among wrestling experts.

Bully Ray, speaking on “Busted Open Radio,” expressed excitement about the potential impact of Hendry winning the NXT Championship. He believes it would create a significant buzz in the wrestling world. Tommy Dreamer added that while wrestlers from other companies have won titles before, this would be a first for NXT. Both experts noted that such an occurrence hasn’t happened in a long time, making it unfamiliar to current WWE fans.

The situation highlights the ongoing business relationship between NXT and TNA. However, Bully Ray questioned whether WWE would actually allow a wrestler from another promotion to become a champion at any level. Despite this uncertainty, he maintained that a Hendry victory would generate substantial interest for both TNA and NXT.
