Josh Alexander stands to be the biggest free agent of 2025

Josh Alexander stands to be the biggest free agent of 2025

As a long-time wrestling fan with a soft spot for underdog stories, I can confidently say that 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for the industry, and Josh Alexander is one name I’m keeping my eyes on. With his contract set to expire in February 2025, he finds himself at a crossroads – a rare opportunity for a wrestler who’s never experienced the allure of free agency before.


One of the major talking points in wrestling this year has been the topic of free agency. Notable figures such as Mercedes Mone, Jacob Fatu, Kazuchika Okada, and Giulia have made appearances in different organizations, marking a new chapter in their illustrious careers. It seems that the trend of movement among performers will continue into 2025, with several talents potentially becoming available for signing. One such individual is Josh Alexander, who could prove to be the most significant acquisition next year.

Alexander’s current contract with the company is expected to expire in February 2025. Originally, it was due to end in 2024, but TNA exercised an option to extend his stay by another year. Now, there are signs that this multi-time champion may explore free agency, a move that could potentially bring him greater financial rewards and advance his long-term career goals.

Alexander expressed to WrestleManiac UK, “I don’t exactly express a desire to depart from TNA. The truth is, I haven’t experienced free agency before. I’ve never been the most sought-after talent. I’ve never had a chance to explore what other companies might offer me. It seems unfair to myself and my family not to find out what opportunities are available elsewhere. I’ll continue to trust my instincts, and we’ll see where that journey takes us.

What potential outcomes might arise from that direction? All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has demonstrated it’s a platform where stars can secure substantial contracts, including six- and seven-figure deals. Notably, many top talents have also opted to join the WWE, aiming to be part of the biggest wrestling promotion available.

Alexander is exceptionally skilled and versatile in professional wrestling. He can match up with top-tier talents across different wrestling styles, and also excels at the role of a sports entertainer. He’s a performer who can fit seamlessly into either mold, no matter which company he’s working for. Both AEW (All Elite Wrestling) and WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) should pursue him, as he would be a significant asset to either roster. In fact, not only should they pursue him, but next year, he could potentially be one of, if not the most sought-after free agent. He deserves to be treated accordingly, given his potential to significantly influence an organization, regardless of where he chooses to sign.

The world of professional wrestling is experiencing a significant growth spurt. Companies like WWE are consistently setting new earnings records, while AEW is on the verge of securing a fresh television agreement. This upsurge in business is expected to benefit the performers directly. As they renegotiate and sign fresh contracts, this could be an opportune moment for them to secure their fair share. Among those who might find themselves in high demand during free agency is Josh Alexander, potentially making him the wrestler with the largest new contract in 2025.
