Josh Alexander is sticking with TNA Wrestling.
On Tuesday, TNA announced it had extended Alexander’s contract by exercising a contract option. TNA credited Sports Illustrated with breaking the news.
Terms of the new deal were not disclosed. However, the SI article mentioned that TNA contacts claim the extension runs for the next year. In addition, SI’s Justin Barrasso specifically noted that Alexander will become a free agent in 2025.
“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,” Alexander told Sports Illustrated, as he embarks on his sixth year with the company.
“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.”
“Josh Alexander is one of the most popular wrestlers in TNA Wrestling history. We’re thrilled to see that his run in TNA will continue,” said TNA Wrestling president Anthony Cicione.
Alexander’s TNA (IMPACT Wrestling) contract expired in February 2022. He ended up returning a few weeks later, announcing he’d re-signed with the company. The option is likely on that existing contract that Alexander signed in 2022.
