Former TNA World Champion Joe Hendry made his WWE in-ring return on the latest episode of NXT. He competed in a singles match against Wes Lee.

The TNA star turned the Kardiak Kid inside out with a big clothesline on the outside. Tyriek grabbed Joe Hendry’s leg to cause a distraction, and the latter went after him but got wiped out with a suicide dive. Wes Lee nailed Hendry with a dive in the ring for a two-count.
The former NXT North American Champion tried to perform a satellite DDT but got hit with a suplex. Joe hit a fallaway slam and was setting up the Standing Ovation, but Wes Lee avoided it.
