After what feels like forever, Josh Alexander is finally hitting free agency—and he’s not doing it alone. The former TNA World Heavyweight Champion has brought in one of wrestling’s most powerful agents to help negotiate his next move.
Alexander Signs with Barry Bloom—What Does It Mean?
According to PWInsider Elite, Alexander has enlisted Barry Bloom—a name that carries serious weight in wrestling negotiations.
Who has Bloom represented? Just, you know… half the biggest names in the business:
- Chris Jericho
- Kenny Omega
- The Young Bucks
- Will Ospreay
- Goldberg, Nash, Hall, Ventura… basically everyone who’s ever main-evented something.
Does This Mean AEW Is the Favorite?
Bloom’s connections heavily favor AEW, so naturally, speculation is running wild that Alexander could be on his way to Tony Khan’s roster. But don’t count WWE out just yet.
- Dave Meltzer previously speculated that the way TNA wrote off Alexander suggested a WWE move rather than AEW.
- TNA has a working relationship with WWE, which could make that transition easier.
- However, AEW’s style fits Alexander like a glove—and his agent’s influence could make the difference.
Alexander’s Free Agency History
This isn’t the first time Alexander has tested the market. Back in February 2022, his contract expired, and he briefly left TNA before returning a month later to kick off the longest TNA World Title reign in history.
This time? The stakes are even higher.
Where Does He Go Next?
- AEW? (Better in-ring fit, but crowded roster?)
- WWE? (More mainstream exposure, but will they push him properly?)
- Shocking return to TNA? (Never say never in wrestling!)
One thing is for sure—Josh Alexander is about to get PAID.
