“Joe, can’t thank you enough, man. Hell of a job out there. And, look, any time you want another chance, gimme a call,” said Michaels.
Hendry then reflected on his match with Page, expressing optimism about the future. “Tonight wasn’t my night. But remember what I said to you the first night I came in, Shawn — anywhere, anytime, any show,” said Hendry before leaving.

Michaels appears to be a supporter of the TNA Wrestling star, expressing his belief in him. Hendry might return to TNA Wrestling but could also make appearances in “NXT” as part of the ongoing partnership between WWE and TNA, with some “NXT” talent appearing in recent TNA Wrestling tapings.
Hendry, who debuted on WWE television in June, has competed in seven matches, with his latest being the contest against Page, which he lost. The Scottish wrestler earned the opportunity to face the “NXT” Champion by winning a #1 Contendership Triple Threat match against Wes Lee and Pete Dunne.
