In a recent episode of the “Talk is Jericho” podcast, TNA wrestling superstar Joe Hendry revealed his aspiration to challenge John Cena once he secures the TNA World Title at Slammiversary 2024.

Now, I’m aiming for the world title at Slammiversary. I want to make one thing perfectly clear. The moment I win the title, I’m going to hoist the title aloft, seize the microphone, and say, ‘John Cena, you’ve experienced almost everything this industry has to offer. Almost. But if you are ready to cross the line…’ That’s precisely what’s going to materialize.”
