"Another one doomed," "He'll be forgotten in 2 months" - Fans react after rumor of 6 ft 1 in star's potential move to AEW surfaces

If a new report is to be believed, AEW might soon welcome a prominent star. The six-foot-one-inch performer recently became a free agent and is seemingly expected to join All Elite Wrestling.

Josh Alexander was one of the top stars in TNA Wrestling for years. His contract with the company ended on Saturday, and he is now free to join another promotion. Fightful Select recently reported that The Walking Weapon will likely ink a deal with All Elite Wrestling.

Fans on X/Twitter seemingly split into two groups after the report surfaced online. Some users claimed that Alexander's career would witness a downfall in AEW. Meanwhile, others believed that he would flourish under Tony Khan's leadership.

"Another one doomed to be lost in the shuffle at Khantanamo Bay," wrote a fan.

"He'll be forgotten about in two months," a user wrote.

Some fans were excited to see Alexander possibly join All Elite Wrestling.

"Really happy for Josh. I think he would have got lost in the shuffle in WWE. AEW is a better landing spot for him," a tweet read.

"Great fit. They'll appreciate what he brings to the table," another person commented.
