Joe Hendry on WrestleMania 41 match with Randy Orton: ‘I’m so proud of what we did’

Joe Hendry says he’s “so proud” of his match with Randy Orton at WWE WrestleMania 41 on Sunday. Hendry was Kevin Owens’ surprise replacement against Orton on the show. The match went 3 minutes and 10 seconds, concluding with Hendry doing his signature pose before getting RKO’ed and pinned. Hendry feels he and Orton gave fans a fun moment, though others have been critical of the TNA World Champion being defeated so quickly. “I’m so proud of what we did out there,” Hendry told Ariel Helwani on Wednesday. “That shot of the spin around into the RKO, it’s now been made into a trading card. I think it was a really fun moment for the fans. To walk into the ring in front of 60,000 people, it was a huge moment for me and what an honor to share the ring with Randy Orton.” When asked how Orton felt about the match, Hendry said: “My understanding is that he was extremely happy with how it went. We clicked immediately, and we were on the same page, which was an awesome thing. He was so amazing to work with.” Hendry noted
