Alex Shelley expresses his interest in a potential rematch with Josh Alexander.
Alexander was forced to relinquish the IMPACT World Championship due to an injury in April. Steve Maclin then won the vacant title, and Shelley dethroned him at IMPACT Against All Odds. Alexander has since returned to action, and fans are already speculating that he could challenge for the gold soon.
Speaking with Matt Aguilar of ComicBook Nation, Shelley was asked whether he would be open to facing Alexander, who previosly beat him at IMPACT Emergence 2022. He stated that he would like to wrestle Alexander again.
“Yeah, of course. I would like to wrestle Josh again. He’s very, very good, and he’s a friend of mine. If I beat him, then we’d be 1-1, and that’d be nice for me. I think certainly in IMPACT, if not the world, he’s the best, and he pushes you. He’s a wrestler’s wrestler. He trains hard, and he’s in the ring constantly. He studies matches. He’s somebody who’s very sharp. He makes you sharper. Ultimately, that’s what I’m about. I think growing as a pro wrestler is the most important factor for me because the championship’s awesome, but at the same time, if you stop growing, you’re kind of dead in the water," Shelley said.
