IMPACT Wrestling X-Division champion Josh Alexander was a great tag team wrestler, forming a formidable team with AEW's Ethan Page. Their team was called The North, and they went on to become the longest reigning IMPACT Wrestling tag team champions in history.

However, Ethan Page left for AEW, forcing Josh Alexander to go on a singles run. Of course, Josh Alexander established himself as a top star but he stated in an interview with Sportster that he was scared for a while in case he was put on the bench. He alluded to his good fortune of getting an opportunity to showcase his abilities as a singles competitor which culminated in the IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Championship win.
"I have learned in my last 16 years of professional wrestling to expect nothing out of professional wrestling (laughs). As a wrestler, you deserve nothing and to expect the worst because you might be let down at every turn. And I have been several times. The only scary part when I realized I was going on my own was that I thought I might be sitting on the bench for quite some time until I got my opportunity," said Alexander.
"Luckily, thank whoever, I got an opportunity very quickly and I knew once I got the opportunity I could perform and show what I can do and show that I can do great things. So I got that opportunity very quickly and I built upon that and it all just led to Rebellion when I won the X-Division championship in that 3-way and that led to the iron man match and now it’s leading to Ultimate X at Slammiversary."
