Josh Alexander made his AEW debut last night on Dynamite,
revealing himself as the wildcard in the Owen Hart Cup
tournament and faced “Hangman” Adam Page in the quarter
final.
During the match, AEW President Tony Khan officially
welcomed Alexander to AEW. “It’s official: @Walking_Weapon
is ALL ELITE,” he wrote, adding the usual welcome graphic.
Unfortunately for Alexander, he lost his first match but the
story was not over. After the match, Kyle Fletcher and Don
Callis confronted Page in the ring and it was Alexander who
attacked Page from behind, turning heel immediately.
Alexander left TNA in February of this year, losing his last
match there against Eric Young on Impact. The Canadian spent
six years with the promotion where he won the TNA World
title twice, the TNA Tag Team titles twice, and the TNA X
Division title once.
Rumors were that Alexander was joining AEW following his TNA
departure and it was just a matter of time when he would
show up on television.
