WWE superstar Joe Hendry has announced the release of his debut musical album, ‘Beyond Belief’, scheduled for October 5, 2026. Much of the recording for the project reportedly took place at WWE Studios in New York.

In a recent interview on the ‘Insight with Chris Van Vliet’ podcast, Hendry provided further detail on how unexpected creative pivots shaped his career. He explained that his WWE RAW main roster debut following WrestleMania 42 involved a last-minute change after an early announcement spoiled a planned surprise involving a move to SmackDown. Instead, Hendry pivoted to target Logan Paul, resulting in the song ‘Fire Logan Paul’. 

The album project itself reportedly began by accident. Following a musical performance involving The Miz, Hendry believed he was being called up to the SmackDown roster. This led to discussions with WWE Head of Music, Neil Lawi, regarding the release of performance audio. What began as a single evolved into an EP and eventually a full-length album. Hendry noted that he was able to record the main vocal tracks for the entire project in just five hours.
