Joe Hendry looks set to be the next NXT name heading to WWE RAW — and his debut could come with a concert.
WWE has already started bringing fresh names onto RAW after WrestleMania 42, with Ethan Page and Sol Ruca both stepping into big matches tonight. Now, new details suggest Joe Hendry is next in line to make the jump.
According to WrestleVotes on Fightful Select, Hendry is currently planned for next week’s episode of WWE RAW, and his appearance is expected to include one of his signature concert segments.
“WrestleVotes on Fightful Select has learned that Joe Hendry is planned to appear on the April 27th, 2026 edition on WWE Raw. More specifically, he is planned to have a concert. We can't confirm at this time if it's a permanent call up.”
Hendry has built a reputation around his live performances and crowd reactions, so introducing him with a concert would fit his character right away. However, it’s still not confirmed whether this appearance means he is officially joining the main roster full-time.
His reported appearance comes during a busy stretch for NXT call-ups. Ethan Page is set to compete in an Intercontinental Championship No. 1 Contender match against Je’Von Evans, while Sol Ruca is scheduled to face Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan on RAW. With Hendry now reportedly joining the mix, WWE appears focused on bringing new talent into the spotlight following WrestleMania.
