Joe Hendry, the current TNA World Champion, has teamed up with PUBG Mobile for an exciting in-game collaboration running until May 17. This partnership brings Hendry's wrestling persona into one of the world's most popular mobile games.
The Scottish wrestler, who has gained fame for his unique combination of wrestling skills and musical talent, will be featured in a special in-game event available to PUBG Mobile players in the UK and North America. Hendry's single "I Believe in Joe Hendry" recently reached #1 on the UK daily iTunes charts, showing his growing popularity beyond the wrestling ring.
"Say His Name and He Appears! The fans wanted it, and Tencent Games heard the call. Joe Hendry is coming to PUBG Mobile," said Hendry in a statement shared by WrestleTalk.com. "As someone who has enjoyed the franchise for many years, I'm excited to bring my unique brand of wrestling and music to the game."
The collaboration includes a mini-game featuring a pixelized version of Hendry, where players can complete missions to earn rewards. Players who complete all 10-day missions will unlock a permanent in-game outfit inspired by Joe Hendry.
Additional exclusive rewards are available for top-ranking players, including a Joe Hendry Space gift for the top 20,000 players, lobby music for the top 10,000, an avatar for the top 5,000, a voice pack for the top 3,000, and a special frame for the top 1,000 players.
During his interview with WrestleTalk.com, Hendry revealed his long history with the PUBG franchise, mentioning he's been playing since around 2017. "When we made the trailer and I got to put on the helmet and the shirt and the tie, and we filmed it in an underground nuclear bunker. It was just an amazing career full-circle moment for me," Hendry explained.
The partnership came about after Hendry responded to a PUBG Mobile post related to his entrance. In his typical charismatic style, he tweeted that if they wanted "the real thing" in their game, all they had to do was "say his name."
Carlos Silva, President of Anthem Sports and TNA Wrestling, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, "We are excited that our TNA World Champion Joe Hendry is part of this exclusive promotion with PUBG Mobile. Joe is our champion in the ring and will be the champion of the battlefield, too!"
Hendry has had a remarkable year, becoming TNA World Champion and even appearing in WWE's Royal Rumble and WrestleMania events in 2025.
This collaboration represents Hendry's first major partnership outside of wrestling, highlighting his growing influence in entertainment beyond the wrestling world.
