Josh Alexander has numerous options when it comes to his future in wrestling.
The former TNA World Champion revealed recently that his TNA contract is up in February. He looks set to leave the promotion for bigger things. With AEW and WWE both likely interested in signing him, Josh Alexander looks set for a big future ahead of him.
He recently appeared on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, where Josh Alexander discussed his future in wrestling. He noted that he never dreamt of main eventing WrestleMania so isn’t taking that into account in the future.
Josh Alexander said that he has many goals to accomplish. In addition, once he achieves them he will set new ones to keep his career progressing.
“That’s the big question mark because I don’t know what the next step is. I’ve been ragged on in the past for saying I never had the dream of main eventing WrestleMania. And I know Hunter himself has had the quote being like, if you don’t want to be the top guy here, then you’re in the wrong business.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to be the top guy, or don’t think I have the ability to be the top guy or anything like that. It was just never my childhood dream. Because I honestly never thought anything that I’m doing or have done was even possible.”
“So this is all this amazing trip I’ve been on the entire time. It’s just been setting little goals along the way, like you said. I want to win this Ontario Indie Promotions World Championship too. I want to get paid a certain amount to wrestle too and I want that contract to kind of validate all this work and all this travel.”
“Now I’m sitting here going, what could I possibly do next that’s going to be the next step? And it’s just like, I need to grow my name. I feel like I’ve established myself as a top guy in TNA, and whatever might be next after that. I mean, I’ll find out, and then I’ll set those other goals.”
Josh Alexander Is Considering All Options For His Future
When considering where he could be going next, Josh Alexander is keeping all options open.
He admitted that moving to NXT to team with Ethan Page again would be enticing. However, he added that there are a number of wrestlers in AEW that he would love to wrestle with too, as well as in Japan.
“I’m looking at everywhere right now, like. Both my sons are wrestling nuts, especially my six year old. So, Monday is Raw, Tuesday is NXT, Wednesday is Dynamite, Thursday is Impact.”
“I’m watching everything with my kids all week long, which is awesome because I get to share this passion with them, but at the same time I’m watching the product, looking at NXT being like, man me and Ethan could tag up and we can face that tag team, that’d be awesome. I’d really love to have a match with Pete Dunne or Gunther, the list goes on.”
“Then you watch Dynamite, and I’m just like, man, I’ve torn it up with Will and Takeshita in the past, I would sure love to do that on a bigger stage. And one bucket list thing I might have, a wrestler that’s stil out there wrestling that I would really love to get a chance to wrestle is Edge. He’s in AEW, you know what I mean?
“And there’s Japan, Shingo is the one guy on my bucket list, this is doable. I’m gonna make this happen. Him and Ishii were neck and neck, and I made the Ishii match happen. Shingo is the other one. So I just look at the landscape of it, where I can go and where the talent is I want to work with everybody’s kind of stacked, roster-wise.”
