While speaking on the latest episode of AEW Unrestricted, Josh Alexander spoke about his debut in All Elite Wrestling.

"Just coming here and then finally getting.. when I got that pop on that entrance, like I was so nervous. It's just because... I'm sure you guys have heard it on this podcast a thousand times and every other wrestling podcast. Wrestlers are so insecure at the end of the day. Especially as baby faces, because you having people like you and want to see you is way more difficult than walking out there and, you know, being like, hey, the Boston Celtics are terrible guys."

Josh continued, noting that it's a first circle moment to now be in AEW.

"This is a full circle moment of like I wanted to be here since before this company's inception. Now that I'm here, it's just off the races and it's just building blocks, starting from square one and we're gonna see where it goes."

Elsewhere in another interview, Alexander explained why he wasn't signed by AEW in 2019. You can read more about that here.
