Josh Alexander Vacates Impact World Title


It was a devastating blow for Impact Wrestling World Champion Josh Alexander when he tore his triceps during a recent match. The injury was severe enough that it required surgery, forcing Alexander to vacate the World Title.

The decision to vacate the World Title was not an easy one, but it was the right one. Alexander's health and well-being had to be the top priority, and there was no way he could continue to compete at the highest level with a torn triceps. It was a difficult decision for him to make, but one that was necessary in order to protect his long-term health.




For Impact Wrestling, the loss of Alexander as World Champion is a setback. However, the promotion has a deep roster of talented performers, and there are plenty of wrestlers who could step up to fill the void left by Alexander's injury. It's unclear who will be named the next World Champion, but there are several strong contenders, including “Speedball” Mike Bailey, Eddie Edwards, and Moose.

As for Alexander, his focus now is on recovering from his injury and getting back in the ring as soon as possible. He's a fighter, and he'll no doubt be back stronger than ever. In the meantime, wrestling fans will miss seeing him compete for the World Title, but they know that he'll be back in the ring before too long.

Cheers!

     Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving  WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years.       How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent
