Randy Orton is likely to challenge John Cena for the Undisputed Championship at WWE Backlash in what promises to be a compelling match. WWE planted the seed for this when the former attacked the latter on Raw. ¡®The Franchise Player¡¯ may receive some help from Travis Scott at the event.
?The rapper previously helped him beat Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 and lightning usually strikes more than once in the WWE. Given this and the fact that ¡®The American Nightmare¡¯ is not advertised for Backlash, Orton may have to depend on a TNA star to even the odds.
Joe Hendry, the reigning TNA Champion, answered Randy Orton¡¯s open challenge at WrestleMania 41 on April 20 and got in some offense before being hit by an RKO. There was mutual respect between the men, and ¡®The Viper¡¯ was quite impressed when he made his way to the ring.?
Joe Hendry recently even expressed a desire to team with the veteran.?
Given this, ¡®Mr Say My Name¡¯ may come to Orton¡¯s aid in his feud with Cena especially if Travis Scott gets involved.? Ideally, Orton could have relied on Rhodes to be his equaliser against his foes but these aren¡¯t normal times. ¡®QB1¡¯ is coming off a heartbreaking loss to Cena and hasn¡¯t been advertised for Backlash, which suggests that he won¡¯t be part of this feud. If such a thing happens, Joe Henry might step up to help the master of RKO. That said, as things stand, this is all speculative. One will get a better idea of what the future holds in the coming days.?
Joe Hendry is no stranger to competing in a WWE ring. He entered the Royal Rumble 2025 and got the fans to cheer for him before being eliminated by Roman Reigns. He then at WrestleMania 41 where Orton defeated him with relative ease. Joe Hendry also exchanged words with Trick Williams on NXT and hinted at challenging Oba Femi for the title.?
