WWE Signs Joe Hendry to Main‑Roster–Level Deal Despite NXT Role

The NXT performer is reportedly paid above WWE’s main‑roster minimum to reflect the company’s investment.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Hendry has officially signed with WWE and continues to appear regularly on NXT programming.
  • Fightful Select’s Q&A states Hendry is on a main‑roster‑level contract, earning above the reported main‑roster minimum salary range.
  • Newsweek reports he signed after his TNA deal expired, while other coverage cites a buyout, and neither the length nor full terms have been disclosed.
  • Hendry is currently featured in a mixed tag team program alongside Thea Hail against Ethan Page and Chelsea Green, spotlighting him on NXT.
  • Sean Ross Sapp suggested Hendry’s arrival could clear the way for Ricky Saints or Ethan Page to move to the main roster, framing it as an expectation rather than a confirmed plan.
