It's been nearly a month since Joe Hendry was seen on WWE programming, and it sounds as though he'll remain on the sidelines until the end of the month at the earliest.The former NXT and TNA World Champion officially joined the Red Brand after WrestleMania 42 back in April, and very quickly became a thorn in the side of Logan Paul and the rest of The Vision. His catchy "Fire Logan Paul" parody song became a very popular sing-along experience for WWE fans across the country, but then Paul went down with an injury. He tore his triceps at Saturday Night's Main Event back on May 23 and was forced to pass his World Tag Team Championship off to his stablemate, Bron Breakker.Joe Hendry | WWEJoe Hendry will not be on the upcoming European tourThat following Monday night on WWE Raw in Columbus, Ohio, Joe Hendry fell victim to a steel chair attack at the hands of Austin Theory. It was a brutal assault that ended when Theory sandwiched Hendry's head between the chair and the ring post.While speaking to the Toronto Sun for a recent interview, the assumption was made that Hendry would be back for the second leg of the WWE European Tour, but Joe made sure not to get anyone's hopes up that he'll be appearing at any of those shows.“I have to say, you said I’d be part of the UK tour, but right now I am healing up, my friend. I was attacked by Austin Theory, so you know, it is what it is,” Hendry said.Friday night's episode of WWE SmackDown will emanate from the T-Mobile Arena in Kansas City, Missouri. It's a stacked show that includes a WWE Championship Match, and semifinal match-ups in both the King and Queen of the Ring Tournaments, and it will be the last episode of WWE main roster programming held in the United States ahead of Night of Champions.Starting Saturday, June 20, WWE will be in Cardiff, Wales, for the start of a five-show trek across the UK, culminating with Night of Champions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, June 27. WWE will return stateside for a double taping of WWE Raw and SmackDown in Atlantic City, New Jersey on June 29. If Joe Hendry's comments to the Toronto Sun are to be taken at face value, then the earliest that he'll be back on television is that Monday night. There is still no official timeline for his return.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
