AJ Styles and Low-Ki Changed Josh Alexander’s Perspective On Wrestling

Josh Alexander is now the IMPACT world champion, but before that, he was the IMPACT X-Division champion.

Josh became X-Division Champion at IMPACT Rebellion 2021 PPV, where he coincidentally became World Champion at the next year. Josh Alexander sat down with the Pro Wrestling Enforcer Podcast to talk about how the X-Division made him a bigger wrestling fan and how the likes of AJ Styles and Low-Ki changed his perspective on wrestling.

Like, the x division just period was the thing that got me hyped about pro wrestling that’s the thing that like I was already a wrestling fan but when I saw that, when I saw this new type of wrestling that I never knew could be possible like Low-Ki like AJ Styles all these guys, they changed my perspective and I was just like damn I might be able do this you know you know what i mean I want to do that so like being able to be x-division champion that was like a dream come true that was the thing and then you know just you know wrestling guys like ace Austin you know and Taurus and even like Jake something who’s you know a local guy in this area and stuff like that just like being able to like highlight pro wrestling and like make pro wrestling fans kind of tune in to impact wrestling just shows that we have some of the best stuff that could happen in the ring that meant a great deal to me.

Josh Alexander eventually lost his X-Division on the February 16 episode of IMPACT to TJP before moving up to aim his sights on the World Title. It’s good to see the effect the X-Division had on the new generation.

Josh Alexander has a world championship defense coming up on July 1st at Against All Odds against Joe Doering.
