Former TNA World Champion Josh Alexander will become a free agent on February 15, according to Fightful Select. The report notes that TNA Wrestling had been aware of Alexander’s potential departure for over a year.

Alexander’s contract situation developed after he requested TNA Wrestling not exercise his 2024 option year. Despite this request, the company opted to retain his services through the completion of his existing agreement, which concludes on Friday.

During his tenure with TNA Wrestling, Alexander captured the Impact World Championship on two occasions between 2019 and 2024. His second reign stands as the longest in company history, beginning at Rebellion in April 2022 and ending in March 2023 when an injury necessitated vacating the title. Additionally, he held the World Tag Team Championship with Ethan Page and the X Division Championship.

TNA Wrestling officials have reportedly spoken positively about Alexander throughout his time with the company. His future destination remains undetermined at this time.

John Cena May Have Hinted at Something Shocking on RAW in Brussels

During his heel turn appearance on Netflix’s WWE RAW, John Cena made statements suggesting he might reconsider his previously announced retirement from the wrestling promotion.

John Cena made his first appearance as a heel on the latest episode of WWE RAW on Netflix. The 16-time World Champion received significant negative reaction from the live audience while fully embracing his new villainous persona.

During his segment, Cena addressed his retirement announcement, stating he was walking away from the company and that this type of move had never been done before. He explained his original motive behind the retirement decision was to get along with the WWE Universe one final time.

Cena mentioned that fans had already ruined his retirement plans, just as they had ruined things in the past. This statement revealed that his announcement was initially intended to create positive final moments with his supporters.

With the circumstances now changed from his original retirement plans, Cena could potentially reverse his decision to retire from WWE.

During the segment, Cena officially announced breaking up with the WWE Universe. He clearly stated he was breaking up with every single person, and no longer cares about the fans as they no longer matter to him.

Following this declaration of separation from the audience, it appears likely Cena might retract his retirement decision. Fans are now chanting “goodbye” to him on RAW, showing a drastic change in their reaction.

With Cena’s new stance against the WWE Universe, he seems positioned to contradict fans’ desires. Since audiences now want him to leave, John might specifically choose to stay to oppose their wishes.

In his RAW promo, Cena reinforced that he no longer cares about the WWE Universe. He described fans as pathetic among other negative remarks. With fans now wanting Cena to retire, he might deliberately work against their preference.

Cena’s heel turn could lead him to announce he won’t fulfill the audience’s desire for his retirement. Instead, he may choose to stay with the company out of selfishness rather than his previous approach of caring about fans’ reactions.

WWE WrestleMania 41 Match Undergoes Major Change

During WWE Raw in Brussels, Rhea Ripley powerbombed both IYO SKY and Bianca Belair through a table before signing their championship match contract for WrestleMania 41.

WWE Raw’s contract signing segment for the Women’s World Championship match at WrestleMania 41 took an unexpected turn on March 17 in Brussels, Belgium. Rhea Ripley inserted herself into the championship picture during what had initially begun as a match between champion IYO SKY and challenger Bianca Belair.

The segment started conventionally with both SKY and Belair signing the contract without incident. General Manager Adam Pearce thanked them for their professionalism, but before the segment could conclude, Ripley made her entrance.

Ripley immediately attacked both competitors, culminating in a powerbomb that sent SKY crashing onto Belair through a table in the ring. Following the assault, Ripley signed the championship contract that both women had already authorized.

This development follows the March 1 Elimination Chamber premium live event where Belair earned her championship opportunity. SKY won the Women’s World Championship from Ripley on the March 3 episode of Raw.

The previous title change involved Belair’s interference, which foreshadowed the possibility of a three-way match at WrestleMania. Commentator Michael Cole questioned the legitimacy of Ripley’s contract signing, but the segment strongly indicated her addition to the championship match.

WWE has not yet officially confirmed the change to a triple threat match, but all indications from the segment point to Ripley joining the championship bout at WrestleMania 41.

For two decades, I believed in that man, rode alongside that man, bought everything that he was selling, not only me but millions around the world, and he has the audacity to come out tonight and blame the WWE fans? John Cena is a 16-time champion because of the fans. John Cena is a massive millionaire and a movie star because of the fans, and what does he do? He comes out and cries and acts like an irrational prick. That is what John Cena is!

Cena and Rhodes are scheduled to face each other for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41. The confrontation establishes the growing tension between the two competitors as they approach their championship match.
