Joe Hendry is out for revenge.

Looking for payback after getting attacked by DarkState during the final NXT TV episode of 2025, Hendry will meet faction leader Dion Lennox in a No DQ bout on next week’s episode.

Hendry vs. Lennox is one of four matchups set to go down at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida as part of the January 13 episode.

NXT General Manager Ava warned Hendry that a No DQ matchup would allow any of the four DarkState members to attack him during the match. To prevent this from happening, Hendry said he will enlist his own crew for backup. He was later seen talking to tag duo OTM about helping him during the match.

Two title matchups will also take place next week.

Just a few weeks removed from his NXT TV debut, Shiloh Hill will try to capture his first-ever title when he faces TNA International Champion Stacks. The broadcast noted that this bout will only become official if Stacks can retain his title against Steve Maclin on this week’s episode of TNA iMPACT! first.

Jasper Troy will wager his WWE Speed Championship against Tavion Heights, a matchup made following an in-ring confrontation between the two this week. It’ll be the first time Troy has defended his belt since dethroning El Grande Americano in November.

The sole women’s match sees Lola Vice and Kelani Jordan meet in a grudge match. The two were seen brawling backstage during this week’s episode.

Here’s everything that has been announced for next week’s show thus far:

  • Stacks vs. Shiloh Hill (TNA International Championship)
  • Tavion Heights vs. Jasper Troy (WWE Speed Championship)
  • Lola Vice vs. Kelani Jordan
  • Joe Hendry vs. Dion Lennox (No DQ)
