In a recent interview with Alistair McGeorge of Metro UK, WWE NXT World Champion Joe Hendry commented on the rising popularity of Kit Wilson’s entrance music, known as the Kit Wilson WWE theme.

Reflections on Early WWE Experience and Influences

He revealed a significant conversation with William Regal during that time, which profoundly influenced his wrestling career and strategic choices. Hendry indicated that he hadn’t shared this before and credited it as one of the pivotal moments shaping his path in professional wrestling.
Regarding earlier chances to join WWE, Hendry mentioned that he felt unready at first and needed to develop his skills by traveling internationally. This preparation was essential for him to perform at WWE’s highest level while discovering his own identity as a performer.
Among his inspirations, The Miz stood out as a key figure who motivated Hendry. He admired The Miz’s resilience and professionalism throughout his career, emphasizing how The Miz managed to succeed despite considerable adversity. More than his achievements in wrestling, Hendry respected The Miz’s character and conduct outside the ring, calling him a credit to the entire industry.
Recent WWE NXT Incident Featuring Ricky Saints and Joe Hendry
During a recent NXT episode, an intense moment unfolded as Ricky Saints abruptly left the arena and launched an attack on Joe Hendry shortly after Hendry’s successful title defense against Jackson Drake. This confrontation escalated tensions within the WWE NXT storyline.
Following the attack, the official NXT Twitter account released a video of Saints addressing fans directly. He challenged the audience by questioning what they could do for him after expressing frustration with their repeated poor choices in supporting wrestlers. Saints asserted his superiority over those favored by fans and emphasized his enduring dedication with fourteen years of experience in wrestling.
Ricky Saints Expresses the Burden of Being Misunderstood
In his message, Saints shared his belief that understanding him requires exceptional insight, suggesting most people struggle to truly grasp his motives or character. He portrayed himself as carrying a unique burden, which isolates him from the typical fan base. Saints warned fans that despite his repeated cautions about certain wrestlers like Oba Femi and Joe Hendry, they have consistently made misguided choices.
“What more can I do for you? In y’all’s search for some beloved savior, I have given you warning after warning, and still, you choose wrong, every single time. I warned you about Oba [Femi], and I warned you about Joe [Hendry]. And look what happened. I feel like at this point, y’all aare destined to keep choosing wrong, and that’s kind of the funny thing about me. I carry aa burned that no one can really understand. To understand Ricky Saints, to really understand me, takes a very, very special person. But to be a normal person and try to understand me, it’s probably the hardest thing that you’ll ever do in your life. But that’s the burden for me to bear.” – Ricky Saints
He further expressed frustration over fans’ misplaced loyalties and underlined that no favorite competitor could match his skill or endurance, presenting himself as a contrast and necessary force within WWE NXT.
“So now, I’m left to think, it’s not about what I can do you, but what the hell can you do for me? Every single person that you put your cart behind, I can dog walk them. I outrun them. I outpace them. That’s the kind of guy I am. Fourteen years strong, ain’t nobody doing it like me. There will always be a stark contrast. Put ’em next to me, and I’ll prove it. I’ve done it time after time after time, and you’ve chosen wrong time after time after time. But now, you need me.” – Ricky Saints
