The most musical man on the WWE roster is about to make it official. Joe Hendry, the singing Scot whose in-ring concerts have become one of the company’s most reliable crowd-pleasers, says he has quietly finished a full album with WWE Music, and it is arriving this summer.
Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Hendry let the news slip for the first time.
“I haven’t told anyone anywhere, but I have recorded an album with WWE Music. It’s going to drop this summer.”
Recorded at WWE Studios, Finished at Home
Hendry said most of the album was cut at WWE Studios in New York, and that he has since recreated that same microphone setup at his own home so he can keep the songs coming without getting on a plane.
“So what I’ve done now is the microphones that we have there, I have basically replicated the setup back home now. I don’t need to fly to New York to do it. I can send stuff in and we can work on it back and forth. That’s one of the things that makes these songs work is because they’re fast and they’re topical.”
That speed is the whole point. Hendry noted his viral Logan Paul song came together in a single week precisely because he could trade files back and forth rather than booking studio time.
Could “Can We Fire Logan Paul?” Make the Cut?
The track count is still under wraps, but it would be a surprise if the album skipped Can We Fire Logan Paul?, the diss track that turned entire arenas into Hendry‘s backing choir. He has built the gimmick by aiming his songs at a rotating cast of targets, from Gallus to The Miz, and that topical streak is exactly what an album lets him bottle up.
For a performer who has turned a guitar and a chorus into must-see TV, a record was the logical next step. Fans will not have to wait long to hear it.
