TNA Champion Joe Hendry May Miss Rebellion After Brutal Injury

TNA World Champion Joe Hendry may be facing serious time on the shelf after suffering a significant shoulder injury during the April 3rd episode of TNA iMPACT!.

The promotion confirmed via social media that Hendry sustained a “Grade three severe sprain to his rotator cuff” during a chaotic post-match brawl. The news immediately cast doubt on his ability to compete at TNA Rebellion, one of the company’s most important events of the year.

TNA posted footage of the aftermath, showing Hendry clutching his shoulder in visible pain as officials swarmed the ring. The company has promised to keep fans updated as more information becomes available.

This injury couldn’t come at a worse time, as Hendry was riding a wave of momentum both in and out of the ring. Known for his viral entrance themes and unmatched charisma, Hendry has become one of TNA’s breakout stars during its resurgence. But now, all eyes are on his recovery timeline—and whether or not TNA will need to make a decision about the championship if he can’t compete.
