WWE's Joe Hendry Out of TV After Austin Theory Attack

Scottish WWE superstar Joe Hendry has been absent from television for several weeks after being violently attacked by fellow wrestler Austin Theory on the May 25 episode of Raw. Theory delivered a barrage of chair shots, leaving Hendry “still recovering,” as Hendry explained on a recent podcast, saying, “Things are a little crazy right now.”

The assault was part of a storyline tied to Logan Paul’s brief injury and subsequent rapid return, prompting WWE to shift focus to Theory’s revenge. While speculation has arisen about possible visa complications for Hendry amidst broader WWE travel issues, the primary reason for his removal appears to be the creative decision following the altered plans surrounding Paul and Theory.
