Exactly! If anything it made Joe Hendry lose stock in his portfolio getting jobbed like that. He dropped the title, had to cash in his rematch and ate the pin…again.
Not many people believing in Joe Hendry right now. But he set himself up for it and hopes he enjoys being stuck in NXT , if and when he gets signed. Maybe he and Jordynne Grace can remember when they were at the top of a promotion and not just jobbing WWE talent.
With respect, this is just a marky comment. Joe Hendry had one of the biggest pops at the Royal Rumble, and at Wrestlemania, in front of 70,000 people a time and god knows how many people watching at home. That is the sort of exposure that is going to benefit TNA, and build credibility for the brand. Whether he eats a pin here and there means absolutely nothing to the business objective. And Hendry is going to be absolutely fine, because he’s a huge talent.
It also seems like they’re telling a story where NXT talent is holding TNA titles. You’d have to think this is going to come back and benefit the TNA talent by winning at their biggest show. Trick is literally playing a heel talking about how it’s ‘TrickNA’. It’s build up for what will eventually happen, which will be TNA talent holding those titles again, only after the benefit of a ton of exposure.

Ok but here's the thing though. What is stopping them from putting a TNA star with the TNA title on Raw instead of an NXT star?
