In a move that has left the WWE Universe stunned, 36-year-old Scottish wrestler Joe Hendry,
who has yet to sign with WWE, has been given a higher ranking than Roman Reigns in a recent power ranking.
This decision has ignited a firestorm among fans,
many of whom are calling it an “injustice” and questioning the criteria behind the ranking.
Joe Hendry, known for his charisma, creativity, and technical prowess, has made waves in the wrestling world through his stints in Impact Wrestling and Ring of Honor (ROH). Despite not being officially signed to WWE, his popularity and skill have earned him a devoted following. However, the decision to rank him above Roman Reigns, the undisputed WWE Universal Champion and a dominant force in the company for years, has raised eyebrows and sparked debate.
Roman Reigns, often referred to as “The Tribal Chief,” has been the face of WWE, holding the Universal Championship for an unprecedented reign and delivering some of the most memorable matches in recent history. His dominance in the ring and his powerful presence have made him a fixture at the top of WWE’s hierarchy. For many, the idea that an unsigned talent like Hendry could surpass Reigns in the rankings seems unfathomable.
Fans have taken to social media to express their disbelief and frustration. Comments like “How can someone not even in WWE outrank the top guy?” and “This is a slap in the face to Roman’s legacy” have flooded Twitter and Reddit, with many questioning the legitimacy of the ranking system.
Supporters of Joe Hendry argue that his unique blend of wrestling ability and entertainment value makes him a standout talent who could bring something fresh to WWE. They point to his viral entrance videos, where he often mocks his opponents in song, as evidence of his creativity and potential to connect with the WWE audience on a large scale.
Despite the controversy, WWE officials have remained tight-lipped about the decision. Some speculate that this could be a strategic move by WWE to generate buzz and possibly hint at a future signing of Hendry. Others believe it could be a way to shake up the rankings and introduce an element of unpredictability.
Whether or not Joe Hendry eventually signs with WWE, this ranking decision has undoubtedly made waves and will be a topic of discussion among fans for weeks to come. For now, Roman Reigns continues to reign supreme in WWE, but the shadow of this “injustice” lingers, leaving fans eager to see how the story unfolds.
