WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre, who is currently feuding with CM Punk, may soon face a new challenger in TNA star Joe Hendry. The rivalry between McIntyre and Punk will intensify at WWE Bash in Berlin, where they are set to clash in a strap match this Saturday. This heated feud has been brewing since the beginning of the year.
The two first squared off at WWE SummerSlam, where McIntyre defeated Punk with Seth Rollins as the special guest referee. After that victory, he seemed ready to move on and confronted the new World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther, who was in the ring with Randy Orton. However, Punk ambushed McIntyre with a belt, reigniting their conflict.
This attack led Punk to challenge McIntyre to a strap match. While their feud seems to be nearing its end, WWE has already planted the seeds for McIntyre’s next feud following Punk on the latest edition of WWE NXT.
During the show, Joe Hendry appeared backstage, walking past photo frames of WWE superstars. When he reached McIntyre’s frame, Hendry paused and stared at it, suggesting a future showdown. Following this, fans believe Joe Hendry might be coming for Drew McIntyre next. These speculations were finally addressed by none other than the Scottish wrestler himself following WWE NXT.

Former WWE World Champion Drew McIntyre has responded to speculation that Joe Hendry might be targeting him next. McIntyre took to Twitter to react to a post about Hendry staring at his photo frame. He fueled the speculation by sharing a GIF of Joe Hendry, adding more intrigue to the situation.
