TNA's Frankie Kazarian Comments On WWE NXT Appearance, Joe Hendry
TNA stars Frankie Kazarian and Joe Hendry both made surprise appearances on last night's edition of "WWE NXT," where they competed in a #1 Contender's Battle Royal to determine Trick Williams' next challenger for the NXT Championship. However, Hendry became the first eliminated from the Battle Royal after being thrown over the top rope by Kazarian, which was met by disappointment from the fans in attendance, who chanted "b***s**t" as Hendry walked towards the back. Kazarian took to social media after last night's episode of "NXT" concluded, posting a video of himself leaving the arena and blaming Hendry for being the reason he didn't win the Battle Royal.
"You know tonight, like all great kings, I was planning on expanding my kingdom, the king of TNA tonight was going to become the king of "NXT" but what happens? Joe Hendry you corny a** one trick pony, you show up and you steal my thunder and what happened? I took your a** out, immediately. If you hadn't shown up and thrown me off my game, I would've won and I would become NXT Champion. Joe Hendry again, all you are is an obstacle everywhere I go, NXT you're welcome."
