New TNA World Champion Joe Hendry is ready to take on all challengers after winning the title from Nic Nemeth at TNA Genesis on Sunday night.
That includes John Cena as WWE and TNA move forward with their multi-year partnership. While speaking on Busted Open Radio, Henry welcomed a match with Cena, who will retire this year, when asked who he’s looking over his shoulder as the TNA Champion.
“John Cena. Let me tell you why. Let’s let it continue. I have done all the things that I thought would be impossible, but in an era where anything can happen. And just before Genesis Triple H tweeted us, Shawn Michaels tweeted the show, and John Cena, who hadn’t tweeted about it before, tweeted the TNA logo on his Instagram. What kind of representative would I’d be for TNA, if I didn’t call out John Cena?”
When asked whether he can hang with John Cena on the microphone?, Hendry said, “1,000% I love it. I love it because John Cena, when he gets that microphone, he tells the truth. And I honestly believe that people haven’t seen what I can truly do on the microphone yet. I feel so comfortable going out there with nothing prepared. And to me, John Cena is in the top echelon of talkers ever in this business. And you know what, if you don’t invite that challenge to even try and step up, then you’re not challenging yourself. You know, I want it. I want to. I know how powerful he is on that microphone, but I just believe that I can hang with John Cena. I believe.”
