Joe Hendry has earned a shot at the NXT Championship for the upcoming No Mercy PPV.
The main event of this Tuesday’s episode of NXT was a triple threat match featuring Hendry, Pete Dunne, and Wes Lee to determine the #1 contender for Ethan Page’s title.
Page tried everything he could to stop Hendry from winning the match. Joe was about to get the pin at one point in the bout but the NXT Champion pulled the referee out of the ring to break the count.
The TNA star made another opportunity for himself after taking Lee out and hitting a Standing Ovation on Dunne. Ethan Page, however, interfered again and stopped the new referee from getting into the ring.
Dunne used this distraction to drop Hendry with a Bitter End. Though before he could get the pin, Trick Williams showed up out of nowhere and hit a Trick Shot Knee on Dunne.
Joe Hendry then used the opportunity to pin Pete Dunne and earn a title shot before Page could do anything. He will become the first TNA contracted talent to main event a WWE PLE at the upcoming show.
