The new TNA World Champion, Joe Hendry, is talking a big game since winning the title at TNA Genesis on Sunday night. In a post-title win interview with Busted Open Radio, Hendry spoke on possibly wrestling John Cena and said that he could hang with Cena in a promo battle on the microphone.

This idea isn't as far-fetched as it might've seemed until recently. WWE just announced a key working partnership with TNA that'll see talent cross the divide on both sides. Realistically, more TNA workers will show up on programming like NXT than the other way around, but nothing should be ruled out.

Less than 24 hours after being crowned the new TNA World Champion, Hendry appeared as a guest on Monday’s edition of Busted Open Radio.

Joe Hendry captured the TNA World Title at TNA Genesis, defeating Nic Nemeth in the main event. As the reigning champion, Hendry will now have the target on his back, but before challengers start lining up to face him, he has his sights set on one of the top names in wrestling history.

That's right, in a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Nic Nemeth effectively called out Cena to take his talents to TNA for a one-time rematch in the Impact Zone, marking his first appearance outside of WWE in over two decades.

This Thursday night, TNA is presenting a special live episode of Impact from the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas. It’s been confirmed that TNA World Champion Joe Hendry will be appearing on the show. We’ll hear from Hendry on TV for the first time since he defeated Nic Nemeth to win the title.
