Joe Hendry Teams Up With Hank & Tank Against DarkState
TNA World Champion Joe Hendry appeared on the April 29 edition of NXT. There, he was attacked by the DarkState stable, who proved that no one is safe from them. That has led to a confirmed six-man tag team match for this week.
Hendry will be teaming up with the NXT Tag Team Champions, Hank & Tank (Hank Walker & Tank Ledger). They will go up against three members of DarkState. It has been shown that DarkState thrives in chaos, so it will be intriguing to see whether they try to bring that about in this match, and perhaps even steal the win.
No. 1 Contender Matches
There are two number one contender matches for championships. One is a 25-man battle royal to determine the number one contender for the NXT Championship, and the other is a singles match to provide an NXT Women’s Championship number one contender.
The 25-man battle royal will feature names such as Trick Williams, Je’Von Evans, Brad Baylor, and more. The winner will face Oba Femi at Battleground.
The Superstar to challenge Stephanie Vaquer at Battleground will be determined in a singles match between Jordynne Grace and Giulia. The latter is the former champion, so she knows how to get to the title. Grace, on the other hand, has proven her mettle worldwide, and she will certainly be hoping to attain her first WWE gold.
