Hours before WWE NXT goes live tonight, Joe Hendry took to Twitter to hype up his upcoming TNA World Championship contract signing with Trick Williams.

In a video posted just two and a half hours before showtime, Hendry made it clear he’s ready to make history at NXT Battleground.

“Say his name and he appears. History is about to be made at NXT Battleground for the first time ever,” Hendry said in the video. “The TNA World Championship will be defended on a WWE show. We know where we’re going, but tonight. Tonight’s the night that we sign the contract to make this match official. Trick, I’ve got questions and tonight we are going to get all the answers only on NXT.”

The contract signing between Hendry and Williams is set to be one of the biggest segments on tonight’s NXT, as the two rivals prepare to clash at Battleground. Hendry’s comments suggest that he plans to get inside Trick’s head before the big showdown, and with both men known for their intensity, things could easily get physical.
