After leaving TNA, Josh Alexander quickly made a splash in AEW, notably debuting in a dramatic heel turn during his match against “Hangman” Adam Page on AEW Dynamite, which led to his joining Don Callis’s faction. In a recent episode of “AEW Unlimited,” Alexander revealed that he learned about this storyline on the very day of his debut. Don Callis approached him right after the match and told him he would be joining the family, a plan Alexander found exciting despite previous uncertainties about his wrestling future.
During his debut in the 2025 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, Alexander was defeated by Page in the opening round but soon dropped his good-guy persona under Callis’s mentorship. Since then, he has gained allies like Trent Beretta, Konosuke Takeshita, Lance Archer, and Don Callis within the faction. Alexander and Callis share history from their time in TNA—where Callis once served as co-vice president and advocated for Alexander in the writer’s room. Alexander is now eager to deepen his understanding of AEW and Callis’s business side of wrestling.
Fan Take: This news is huge for AEW fans because Josh Alexander’s alignment with Don Callis signals the arrival of fresh, compelling storylines. It also shows how AEW is continuing to build dynamic factions that could elevate the sport’s entertainment and competitive stakes.
