Joe Hendry’s next WWE project is set to extend well beyond the ring. The performer is scheduled to release Beyond Belief, an album tied to his WWE career, on October 5. While Hendry has become closely associated with musical material and personality-driven songs in wrestling, he has now revealed just how quickly the bulk of the record came together.
Speaking on My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox, Hendry said most of the album was written last December during a rapid creative stretch that began with a song aimed at The Miz. The only exception, he said, was “Fire Logan Paul,” which was written in April before his debut and was ultimately considered essential for the album.
A Song for The Miz Helped Start the Album
Hendry explained that the album did not begin as an expansive, long-planned release. Instead, it developed naturally from the kind of musical work he was already doing as part of his wrestling presentation. His songs have often been used as a way to target opponents, build stories, and give audiences another avenue into his character. That format led to an idea around the holiday season, and the project grew from there.
“So it happened very organically, actually. Because I do, you know, I’ll often do songs on TV. We did a song for The Miz at Christmas time to make fun of him and then it was like, ‘hey, we’re gonna put this song out. Why don’t we do an EP, do a couple more, start doing a couple more songs.’”

Rather than keeping the material limited to a single release or a short EP, Hendry said the writing process gathered momentum quickly. What began with the Christmas-time material became a broader collection as more songs were added to the plan.
That escalation matters because it illustrates how closely Hendry’s music is connected to his work as a WWE Superstar. The songs are not being presented as a separate side project that happened to emerge alongside wrestling. In Hendry’s description, the album came directly out of the material he was already making for wrestling-related purposes.
Most of the Material Was Written in Days
According to Hendry, the decisive writing period took place only a few days before Christmas. He said he wrote the material in approximately three or four days, before the scope of the project continued to grow.
“So this was like sort of, couple days before Christmas, so I wrote it in about three, four days. We just kept adding songs. Well, we got six or seven. Let’s just do the whole album.”
For a project that is now being released as a full album, the condensed timeline is notable. Hendry indicated that the creative team initially kept adding tracks after the idea of an EP was raised, eventually reaching a point where a larger release made more sense. The approach appears to have been driven by having enough material rather than by a lengthy, pre-set album campaign.
That does not mean every element of the release was conceived at the same time. Hendry made clear that one song arrived later, but the central body of Beyond Belief dates back to that December session. His comments frame the album as a collection born from a burst of creative activity and then expanded as the number of songs increased.
In an era when wrestlers frequently use music for entrances, video packages, social clips, or occasional novelty tracks, a complete album gives Hendry a more substantial platform for a part of his presentation that has already become familiar to fans. His songwriting is an active piece of his identity on screen, particularly when a song can be used to mock a rival or shape the tone of a program.
“Fire Logan Paul” Came Later
Hendry identified “Fire Logan Paul” as the one track on Beyond Belief that was not written during the December push. He said he wrote it in April, before his debut, and that the song ultimately had to be included on the finished release.
“So we wrote everything except Fire Logan Paul. We wrote that. That came around- I wrote that one in April before my debut. So all of it I wrote all of it in the December except that one song. But that one had to go on it.”
The inclusion of “Fire Logan Paul” means the album will not be limited solely to the batch of songs created during the Christmas-season writing period. Instead, it combines that initial run of material with a later track that Hendry clearly viewed as too important to leave off the project.
Hendry did not provide a full track-by-track breakdown of the album’s content, nor did he outline how each song will connect to particular moments in his WWE run. What is confirmed is that the release will feature several songs related to his career as a WWE Superstar. His explanation of the writing process also establishes that the project was assembled from music designed around the type of wrestling-driven material with which he has become associated.
Music Remains Central to Hendry’s Presentation
The album announcement fits naturally with Hendry’s established creative strengths. His ability to create songs around wrestling stories has long made his act distinct, allowing him to communicate character work in a format that can be humorous, confrontational, memorable, and directly tied to an opponent. The song for The Miz that helped inspire the album is an example of that process: music used not merely as accompaniment, but as part of the on-screen rivalry.
That versatility can be especially useful in WWE, where performers are often asked to make their personalities clear across multiple formats. Hendry’s musical work offers a recognizable extension of his persona, whether it is heard in a wrestling setting or released as standalone material. Beyond Belief will give that side of his work a dedicated collection rather than leaving it confined to individual appearances or isolated songs.
The title itself also aligns with the theatrical, audience-facing nature of Hendry’s presentation. While he did not elaborate on the naming of the album in these comments, Beyond Belief is positioned as a WWE release built around songs tied to his career. The record’s arrival provides a formal release point for material that grew out of his regular creative process.
Recent Discussion Around a Music Video
Hendry has also recently addressed concerns raised about AI usage in one of the music videos connected to the project. He did not discuss those concerns in the comments about the album’s writing timeline, and no additional details about that issue were provided here.
For now, the clearest picture of Beyond Belief is the one Hendry gave through his account of its origins: a wrestling-related song written around Christmas created an opportunity for a wider release; an EP concept grew into an album once more tracks were added; and nearly all of the music was completed in a brief December window. “Fire Logan Paul,” written separately in April ahead of his debut, became the exception that joined the final collection.
Hendry’s comments also underline the value of speed and spontaneity in his songwriting approach. Rather than describing a slow and heavily structured album development process, he portrayed the record as something that took shape because the songs kept coming and the idea kept getting bigger. From one piece of material intended to make fun of The Miz, the project expanded into an album scheduled for release on October 5.
As that date approaches, Beyond Belief stands as the latest WWE-related extension of Hendry’s music-driven identity. The album will collect songs connected to his journey as a WWE Superstar, with its foundations rooted in a remarkably concentrated December writing period and one later addition Hendry felt belonged on the finished release.
