Joe Hendry Says He Was Supposed To Make Main Roster Debut On Raw After WrestleMania

On the April 20 episode of WWE Raw, it was announced that Joe Hendry would be moving to the main roster and signing with the red brand. He would debut the following week.

As it turns out, April 20 was supposed to be his main roster debut.

Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Hendry revealed that nugget of information when discussing how the song “Fire Logan Paul” came together.

“That’s another interesting story because I was supposed to debut the night after WrestleMania, and the song I had was the same song, but it was ‘Raw, Raw, Joe Hendry signed to Raw.’ Then what happened was they’d announced that I was going to be on Raw the next week. Because what I was going to say something that rhymed with SmackDown, I was going say something like back down because I have signed to Raw. That was what the gag was going to be. But I think Cole had said it, and there was like a graphic. I was like, we need to pivot here and then I found out that I was going to be working with The Vision. I’ve always learned in wrestling that you have to go after the biggest, baddest name. Well, the one name who’s got the most controversy and fame is Logan. So I’ll just go directly after Logan, and the words fit right in. So that’s how the Fire Logan Paul song came about, and then it just kind of blew up beyond what we had maybe expected, and then yeah, had to put it on the album,” he said.

Hendry’s album is set to drop on October 5. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
