Joe Hendry appears to be the next NXT name heading to WWE Raw, and his introduction to the main roster audience could come with one of his most recognizable calling cards.
According to WrestleVotes on Fightful Select, Hendry is planned to appear on the April 27 episode of Raw, with his segment expected to include a concert. “WrestleVotes on Fightful Select has learned that Joe Hendry is planned to appear on the April 27th, 2026 edition on WWE Raw. More specifically, he is planned to have a concert. We can’t confirm at this time if it’s a permanent call up,” the report states.
Whether the appearance marks the beginning of a full-time main roster run or a one-off introduction has not been confirmed. What is clear is that WWE is moving quickly to inject new faces into Raw’s post-WrestleMania landscape.
Tonight’s Raw already features two NXT call-ups stepping into prominent spots. Ethan Page is competing in an Intercontinental Championship No. 1 Contender match against Je’Von Evans, while Sol Ruca is scheduled to face Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan.
Hendry has built one of NXT’s most distinct characters around his live musical performances and the organic crowd reactions they generate. Opening his Raw chapter with a concert would put his most recognizable quality front and center for an audience encountering him for the first time, a logical way to establish who he is before the in-ring work begins.
