Joe Hendry shocked fans in Manchester, England, by scoring a big win over The Miz during WWE’s live event at the AO Arena. The former TNA World Champion stepped up to answer an open challenge from The Miz and walked away with a decisive victory, making a strong impression in front of the UK crowd.
This match marked Hendry’s third appearance on WWE’s main roster and his first since WrestleMania 41 Night Two, where he lost to Randy Orton. It also follows his participation in the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble. Hendry’s victory in Manchester added more intrigue to WWE’s current tour across Europe and showed he can hold his own against established names on the main roster.
The live event was part of WWE’s ongoing “Road to Clash in Paris” tour, which now heads to Leeds on Wednesday, Cardiff on Thursday, and Lyon, France for SmackDown on Friday. The tour will conclude with the Clash in Paris premium live event at the Paris La Défense Arena on Sunday.
With Hendry now gaining momentum, it’s worth asking what’s next for him in WWE. Could this win signal a full-time main roster role, or was it just a one-off moment for the Manchester crowd?
