Real Reason Top TNA Wrestling Star Was Backstage At WWE PLE Revealed

WWE/TNA

Former TNA World Champion Josh Alexander has thanked Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes for helping him out at a recent WWE show.

Following the July 6 Money in the Bank premium live event, it was reported that TNA’s Josh Alexander and Jade Chung were backstage at the event in Toronto, Canada.

With recent WWE-TNA crossover, this fuelled speculation that Alexander would soon be entering a WWE ring.

Speaking on the Johnny I Pro Show, Alexander revealed that he and his wife Jade Chung were actually at Money in the Bank because Cody Rhodes offered them and their son tickets after running into them at SmackDown.

Alexander explained:

“I brought my son to SmackDown and to Money in the Bank, and now with the working relationship between TNA and WWE, I’m like, ‘Oh, I can go. If everybody else is going, I can take my son to a show because he’s obsessed with wrestling.’ So I take him, and Trinity (Naomi), we text her, ‘We’re here. Have a good match.’ She’s like, ‘Oh, come to the back.’

“We get grabbed by security, we’re in one of the floor seats because we got free tickets from a friend of mine. We’re walking to the back with security, we pull back the curtain, and Jett, I bought him a World Heavyweight Championship replica.

“He’s like, ‘Daddy, hold this.’ He puts it in my hand, and I’m like, ‘No, take this back. I’m not walking in the back holding this pretend belt, dude.’ (Laughs) He’s not taking it, so I have to wrap it around him, like I’m not walking in the back holding this replica title. But I walk to the back, I’m standing right by Gorilla, waiting for Trinity to come back.

“She had a post-show match, (a dark match), and I’m waiting for her to come back so we can say what’s up to her, and Cody runs up to me right away, gives me a big hug. It was like he saw me yesterday. I’m like, I’ve seen him twice at Alpha-1, I’ve worked with him twice.

“We all are familiar with each other through social media and all this other stuff, but we haven’t really spoken. He’s like, ‘You want to come tomorrow?’ I’m like, ‘Ah, I don’t know, man. We had no intention.’ I look down at my son, Jett, and Jett looks at me. He goes, ‘We’re going to Money in the Bank?’ He’s like, ‘Text me if you want tickets.’

“He walks away, and I only had his number from 2016, and I got back to the hotel. I text him, ‘That offer good?’ He’s like, ‘Yeah, absolutely.’ Same number from 2016, and he got us fourth row tickets for Money in the Bank. My son had the time of his life because of the generosity of Cody Rhodes.”

A WWE match featuring a TNA Wrestling tag-team has now been announced, which you can read more about right here.
