TNA Wrestling extend Josh Alexander’s contract into 2025
TNA Wrestling have announced that they have extended the contract of Josh Alexander, as first reported by Sports Illustrated. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Alexander is one of the most accomplished, decorated wrestlers in TNA history, a star in singles and tag team action. Alexander made his pro wrestling debut in 2005 and has been a star on the TNA roster since early 2019. Just consider:
He is a 2-time former World Tag Team Champion as half of The North, the longest-reigning World Tag Team Champions in company history (380 days).
He was the TNA X-Division Champion in 2021, holding the prestigious title for 151 days before invoking Option C and vacating the championship in exchange for an opportunity to wrestle for the World Championship. He is a two-time former TNA World Champion, with his second reign being the longest reign in company history (335 days).
Alexander told Sports Illustrated, as he embarks on his sixth year with the company:
With the rebranding and the return of those iconic letters, TNA, those letters that inspired me to get in the ring in the first place and chase this wild dream of being a wrestler, I’ve dreamt of that moment, being there at Hard To Kill, hearing those letters. I got a lot of work to do this year. I have to find some success because I think more so than myself, the 15-year-old kid who was sitting on the couch never dreamt this was possible wouldn’t believe that I could be TNA World Champion or TNA X-Division Champion, things that are still on my bucket list, but, I know my son wants me to bring home some gold.
Alexander and the stars of TNA Wrestling will be in action on Friday, February 23, at the live No Surrender event, originating from the Alario Center in New Orleans, which will also will stream live on TNA+. Alexander is scheduled to go one-on-one against Simon Gotch.
