Josh Alexander vs. Eddie Edwards World title match set for Impact Bound For Glory
Eddie Edwards will have his opportunity at regaining the Impact World title after winning a six-way elimination match Thursday on AXS TV.
He now moves on to face Josh Alexander for the title at Bound For Glory on Friday, October 7th.
Edwards won the bout by pinning Rich Swann, another former World Champion. The final two men in the match battled before Edwards hit his Die Hard driver to finally get the pin.
The match also featured former champions Sami Callihan and Moose in addition to Bandido and Steve Maclin.
Edwards will be looking for his third title reign and first since a short six-week run in the summer of 2020. His prior reign was for nearly three months in 2016-2017.
While he and Alexander have met in tag team competition frequently through the years, this will only be their second-ever singles match. The first took place in March 2020 that Alexander won.
It’s also the first match announced for the Bound for Glory pay-per-view.
Since 2011, Josh has been a contributing editor to Wrestling Observer/F4WOnline.com and also hosts the Punch-Out podcast. He has also written for Fight Magazine, Bloody Elbow, Bleacher Report, and other websites. He's a 2000 graduate of the University of Maine, worked in pro sports, and once was an indie ring announcer.
