Quote from Josh Alexander

"All right, I’m just gonna get into this. Last week on AEW Collision, I suffered an injury. And when you suffer injuries, you don’t know how severe they are. I just found out minutes ago how serious this was. I know I’ve been limping and been in pain for a week, but, my surgeon told me, I’m gonna need surgery this coming Wednesday. My knee injury is pretty severe, so I will not be cleared to compete. And there’s, there’s no timetable set right now for when I will be back. In the moments that you get injured, a lot of things go through your head. My AEW career, my wrestling career, Everything, you know, pops through your mind. And one of the things that popped in my head was defending my Canadian Championship this weekend. I would defend my Canadian Championship still with one leg if I had to, because MLP, Canadian wrestling, it means everything to me, man. It’s who I’ve been for 20+ years. So I don’t know what the future holds for Josh Alexander, but I know that tonight MLP presents Global Wars with Ring of Honor, AEW stars from around the world, the very best in Canadian wrestling. It’s tomorrow night for Uprising. So I’ll be doing exactly what all of you are doing. I’ll be tuning in from my couch at home, enjoying some of the best pro wrestling in the world, and I hope you enjoy it too. I’ll see you when I see you."
