Josh Alexander’s Impact Wrestling contract, U.S. work visa expire

When former Impact World and X-Division Champion Josh Alexander was taken off this Saturday’s No Surrender show, most assumed it was just part of an ongoing storyline given how it was presented.

However, Alexander revealed on Twitter Monday that his Impact Wrestling contract has expired which means his U.S. work visa has also expired. The Canadian is therefore unable to work in the U.S. until that is resolved.

The 34-year-old Alexander was booked in a four-way elimination match at Terminus’ second event later this month in addition to an AML Wrestling event also later this month. He will miss both of them.

Last Thursday, Impact VP Scott D’Amore removed Alexander from the five-on-five Team Impact vs. Honor No More match set for Saturday and was “sent home.” Alexander has been campaigning for a World title rematch since he both won and lost the title on the same night at last October’s Bound for Glory.

Alexander debuted for Impact in 2018, signing a three-year deal in February 2019. He was part of The North with Ethan Page, holding the Tag Team titles twice. After Page departed, Alexander returned to singles wrestling in 2021 with a long X-Division title reign and a win over Christian Cage for the Impact World title.
