Josh Alexander has officially signed with All Elite Wrestling.

A former two-time Impact World Champion, two-time Impact Tag Team Champion, and Impact X-Division Champion, Alexander made his AEW debut on Wednesday’s Dynamite Spring BreakThru episode in Boston as the mystery wild card opponent for Hangman Adam Page in the Owen Hart Foundation men’s tournament quarterfinals.

Page defeated Alexander in the 37-year-old veteran’s debut match with the company. After the bout, Don Callis and Kyle Fletcher entered to attack Page, with Callis and Alexander teasing an alliance:

"The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher faces off against his next #OwenHartCup opponent Hangman Adam Page, but what does Don Callis want with Josh Alexander?!

AEW owner Tony Khan announced in a social media post that Alexander, who hit free agency after wrapping up with TNA earlier this year, had officially signed:

It was reported in February after Alexander’s TNA deal expired that he was expected to sign with AEW. He lost his final TNA match to Eric Young on the February 13 Impact.

In the interim, Alexander made an appearance for former TNA executive Scott D’Amore’s Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling promotion, and is expected to continue working with Maple Leaf going forward. He has been announced for their May 10 Northern Rising show.

QT Marshall, Serena Deeb, and Billy Gunn are among other AEW talent that have also worked with Maple Leaf while under AEW contract.

Alexander had widely been expected to debut as the wild card in the Owen tournament, with Will Ospreay even publicly lobbying for Alexander.
