Joe Hendry's WWE Hiatus Linked to Mobile Drama Series

Joe Hendry has been notably absent from WWE programming since his last appearance on the August 3 episode of RAW. His hiatus is reportedly due to his participation in WWE's inaugural project with the mobile platform ReelShort. Hendry is slated to feature in a live-action microdrama that will be released on mobile devices.

While specific details regarding the storyline and Hendry's character have not yet been disclosed, this involvement offers a clear explanation for his temporary departure from WWE's main roster. The microdrama series, a result of WWE's new collaboration with ReelShort, will also include appearances from WWE Superstars Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu, alongside ReelShort personalities Marc Herrmann and Chase Mattson.

Hendry, who signed with WWE in November of the previous year, began his tenure on NXT and quickly ascended to the main roster following WrestleMania 42. Previously, he addressed fan backlash regarding a controversial segment on RAW involving boxer Ryan Garcia, stating his commitment to delivering top-tier performances for the audience.
