Alex Hammerstone signs with TNA, will face Josh Alexander at Sacrifice
Former MLW World Heavyweight Champion Alex Hammerstone has signed with TNA Wrestling.
TNA announced during Thursday’s Impact episode that Hammerstone has signed with the company and will face Josh Alexander at Sacrifice on Friday, March 8 in a Hard to Kill rematch.
Hammerstone announced last October that he had requested his release from MLW, but later returned to the promotion in November. He later revealed that his contract with the company expired at the end of 2023 and that he planned to hit free agency as 2024 began, posting a video on social media on January 1 issuing an open challenge.
TNA’s Josh Alexander accepted the open challenge and the two met at Hard to Kill in January, with Alexander scoring a victory in the first meeting. A rematch between the two has now been announced for the TNA Plus Sacrifice special on Friday, March 8.
Aside from his one TNA match this year, Hammerstone has also wrestled for GCW and a variety of independent promotions as a free agent.
There is no word from TNA as to whether Hammerstone’s deal makes him exclusive to the company.
Five matches are currently set for Sacrifice. The current lineup:
TNA Sacrifice, Friday, March 8 on TNA Plus —
- TNA World Champion Moose defends against Eric Young
- TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace defends against Xia Brookside & Tasha Steelz in a triple threat
