Josh Alexander Reveals Original Plans For TNA Slammiversary 2024

Josh Alexander recently parted ways with TNA in January after a successful six year stay with the promotion, and since his exit he has discussed some of the time he spent in the promotion. When appearing on stage for a show hosted by the Johnny I Pro Show, Alexander and former workmate Steve Maclin opened up on some of the changed plans that took place last year in TNA.

Maclin first revealed that he and Alexander had pitched a tag team run together in addition to several pitches for feuds, though they only ended up having one singles match at TNA Turning Point 2024. Alexander followed this up by revealing the original plans for Slammiversary 2024 that would have seen them become the new TNA World Tag Team Champions. 

“The original creative plans were I was not supposed to be in the six-way at Slammiversary. Neither were you (Steve Maclin). I was not supposed to turn heel on Joe Hendry and do all this stuff with Joe Hendry and stuff prior to that. The original plan on paper was we were supposed to tag up. I think we were supposed to defeat The System? At Slammiversary for the tag belts. We were gonna be tag champions and we were gonna feud with The Hardys or something and then after we drop to The Hardys — August, Septemberish or something — that’s when we were gonna go into this feud to go to Bound For Glory and obviously, things in wrestling, fluid and they change all the time. No matter how disappointed you might be. But, yeah, so we ended up scrapping all that. I end up turning heel. We kind of just had to run into this feud and built it up really quick for Bound For Glory and then pay it off at Turning Point.”

Alexander is expected to sign with AEW following his TNA exit, though his debut has reportedly been delayed due to visa issues.
