Josh Alexander has discussed nixed plans for a tag team title run with former TNA World Champion Steve Maclin.
At TNA Slammiversary 2024, Nic Nemeth defeated Frankie Kazarian, Josh Alexander, Steve Maclin, Joe Hendry and Moose to win the TNA World Championship.
During the course of the bout, Alexander turned heel by hitting Hendry with a low blow and then the C4 Spike. “The Walking Weapon” then had a heel run for the next few months before wrapping up his TNA Wrestling run in February and entering free agency.
Speaking on the Johnny I Pro Show, Steve Maclin explained that he and Josh Alexander had pitched to work together as a tag team for over a year.
Detailing the original plans for TNA Slammiversary 2024 was not for him to turn heel, but to team with Maclin, Josh Alexander said:
“The original creative plans were, I was not supposed to be in the six-way at Slammiversary. Neither were you [Maclin]. I was not supposed to turn heel on Joe Hendry and do all this stuff with Joe Hendry and stuff prior to that.”
“The original plan on paper was, we were supposed to team up [points to Maclin], I think we were supposed to defeat The System at Slammiversary for the tag belts, we were going to be tag champions, and we were going to feud with The Hardys or something, and then after we dropped to The Hardys, August, Septemberish, or something, that’s when we were going to go into this feud and go to Bound For Glory.”
“Obviously, things in wrestling [are] fluid, and they change all the time, no matter how disappointed you might be, but yeah, so we ended up scrapping all that.
“I ended up turning heel, and we kind of just had to run into this feud and build it up really quick for Bound For Glory and then pay it off for Turning Point,”
An update has been provided on Josh Alexander potentially signing with AEW, which you can read at this link here.
