Alex Shelley remains open to the prospect of defending his Impact Wrestling World Championship against Josh Alexander in the future.
Shelley claimed the title from Steve Maclin, who had emerged victorious after Alexander was compelled to relinquish it due to injury. With Alexander’s return to active competition, and considering their prior clash at Emergence 2022, Shelley addressed the possibility of a rematch with the championship at stake in an interview with ComicBook Nation.
Responding to the potential rematch, Shelley expressed, “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.”
