In a move that set the wrestling world buzzing, TNA Wrestling star Joe Hendry teased something major for tonight’s WWE NXT episode, airing live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida on The CW Network at 8 PM ET. The news, coupled with a loaded match card, has fans eagerly anticipating what promises to be a pivotal episode in the lead-up to NXT’s special events and championship tournaments.
Hendry’s Mysterious Message Leaves Fans Guessing
In a digital exclusive released hours before the show, Hendry was seen in the Performance Center, clearly speaking with someone off-camera, hinting at a major involvement in NXT for the night. The TNA standout, known for his charisma and in-ring prowess, did not reveal specifics but promised a “surprise no one will see coming.” According to a WWE insider, Hendry’s appearance was cleared “at the highest level,” and his presence has already caused “quite a stir” backstage.
“Joe Hendry is a wild card, a true entertainer. Bringing him in even for a night gives us fresh matchups and unpredictable moments, and that’s exactly what NXT is about right now,” said a company source close to the creative team.
Hendry’s tease arrives at a time when WWE’s developmental brand is aggressively courting attention with cross-promotional appearances and unexpected debuts. With NXT increasingly serving as a global melting pot for wrestling talent, Hendry’s potential involvement could signal further collaboration between WWE and other promotions.
Stacked NXT Card for November 4, 2025
Tonight’s episode is already billed as one of the most stacked cards in recent memory, featuring a mix of title tournaments, heated rivalries, and championship celebrations.
WWE Women’s Speed Title Tournament Begins
After Sol Ruca relinquished the WWE Women’s Speed Championship last week, a new tournament kicks off to crown a successor. Notable names such as Tatum Paxley, Izzi Dame, Lola Vice, and Jacy Jayne are all confirmed for the bracket, with more participants expected to be revealed live on air[1][6]. “The tournament’s start is a soft reset for the division, letting new stories emerge and fans see fresh faces,” explained a source close to NXT’s women’s division.
Fatal Influence vs. Paxley, Dame & Vice – Six-Woman Tag Team Match
The main-event six-woman tag sees Fatal Influence—Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Lainey Reid—seeking revenge after Jayne lost the NXT Women’s Championship at Halloween Havoc. Their opponents, champion Tatum Paxley, Izzi Dame, and Lola Vice, have a score to settle after last week’s chaos[1][3]. The outcome could determine whether the Jayne-Paxley feud continues or reaches a conclusion.
Je’Von Evans vs. Saquon Shugars – Singles Showdown
The rising star Je’Von Evans faces Dark State’s Saquon Shugars, a match that could help shape the future of NXT’s men’s division. Both competitors are seen as potential breakout stars in 2025, and a win here could catapult either into a major storyline.
Muy Grande Championship Celebration
Chelsea Green and Ethan Page, fresh off winning the AAA Lucha Libre Mixed Tag Team Titles last weekend, will celebrate their gold on NXT TV[7]. This rare spotlight for AAA championships on WWE programming underscores the growing partnership between the companies. “Chelsea and Ethan have huge personalities, and having them show off AAA gold on NXT is a fun, chaotic way to bridge the gap between promotions,” remarked a backstage source.
NXT’s Growth and Global Expansion Beyond the Ring
WWE NXT continues to expand its reach, with tonight’s episode airing live not just on The CW in the United States, but also on Netflix internationally—including broadcasts in the UK, India, Australia, and Mexico[3][6]. This global approach is paying off, as NXT’s weekly viewership hits record highs amid new signings and cross-promotional angles.
A WWE insider noted, “The strategy is simple: give fans around the world access to the hottest wrestling, with fresh matchups and surprises every week. The more platforms, the more eyes, and the more opportunities for new stars to break out.”
What’s Next for Joe Hendry and NXT?
While Hendry’s tease has fans speculating, possible scenarios include a one-off appearance, a challenge to an NXT star, or even a multi-promotional storyline. Given WWE’s increasing openness to crossovers, Hendry’s presence could be a test run for further talent exchanges or even a full-time deal.
Sources close to the situation say Hendry is “keeping his options open” and is well-liked by WWE’s creative team, but nothing is finalized beyond tonight’s appearance. “He fits the NXT vibe—energetic, athletic, and ready for the spotlight,” said a source familiar with Hendry’s discussions.
