Josh Alexander vs. Moose World title rematch set for Impact Wrestling
Josh Alexander’s first defense of the Impact World title will be against former champion Moose this Thursday on AXS TV.
Alexander defeated Moose at last Saturday’s Rebellion to reclaim the title. It’s Alexander’s second run with the gold as his first reign ended in minutes at last October’s Bound For Glory due to Moose cashing in his earned Call Your Shot opportunity.
Since that loss, Alexander campaigned for a rematch but was unable to get it. He is also a former Impact X-Division Champion and Tag Team Champion.
Moose said in February that has been working through a torn labrum which he will eventually need to take time off for.
The match was taped Sunday in Poughkeepsie, New York. Based on those tapings, other matches will include The Briscoes vs. Heath and Rhino, Honor No More vs. Motor City Machine Guns & Mike Bailey in a trios match and several promos.
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.
