After quitting TNA Wrestling after his loss to Mike Santana at the Genesis 2025 pay-per-view event, Josh Alexander made an appearance on this week’s show to explain why he decided to quit the company.
Alexander revealed that while he has had more good times than bad in TNA, it was time to make his dreams come true.
Alexander went on to praise Sinner and Saint, but the two weren’t having it and said he couldn’t quit. They then attacked him. Eric Young made the save and a tag-team match has been set up for next week’s show.
