Josh Alexander Says Visa Issue Was Legitimate Before Signing New Impact Contract

Josh Alexander made his return to Impact Wrestling at the company’s Sacrifice pay-per-view event. Josh laid out Impact World Champion Moose and issued a challenge for his title.

The former Impact World Champion recently sat down with Sean Sapp and Jimmy Van on The List & Ya Boy to talk about his past visa issues and his contract status with the promotion.

“This visa stuff is legitimate, 100%, I’ve seen people comment and say ‘that was all a work too just to make it seem more legit.’ Like most things in my career, it was a circumstantial thing that happened to amplify this one thing and benefit it.

“I would never cancel a booking, ever, that’s not in me to do. I had to cancel two shows for that because of legitimate visa issues with lawyers and stuff that is way over my pay grade. That was unfortunate. It all got handled now. I’m back in the state and have a new visa and everything else.”

While Josh couldn’t show up for TERMINUS and AML due to his visa issues, he had already agreed to a new deal with Impact Wrestling, allowing him to remain with the Nashville-based promotion.

Josh will challenge Moose for Impact’s top title at the company’s Rebellion pay-Per-view event in New York on April 23. Josh is looking to reclaim the title he lost to Moose at the Bound for Glory pay-per-view event last year.
