Bishop Dyer Explains Why Josh Alexander’s AEW Debut Loss Won’t Impact Him
Former TNA World Champion Josh Alexander recently made his AEW debut and suffered a loss to Hangman Page. Despite the unexpected defeat, former WWE Superstar Bishop “Baron Corbin” Dyer believes that this loss will not hurt Alexander but could actually benefit him in the long run.
Dyer shared his thoughts on a recent episode of “Busted Open Radio,” stating, “For Josh Alexander to take that L…it didn’t hurt him. He’s stepping into a new world, new competitors, and Hangman Page, who is an elite, top-level superstar beat you.”
Dyer further explained, “I think that loss will do more for him, and it also gave him the ability to make that switch and go to work after the match, and throw a little bit of a tantrum, and powerbomb Hangman through the ring, and then join The Don Callis Family. Like that did more for him than if he just won.”
Since his debut loss, Alexander has bounced back with victories on both “AEW Collision” and “Dynamite.” Notably, he secured a win in a tag team match against Brody King and Will Ospreay by pinning King after hitting him with the C4 Spike.
It seems that Alexander is on the right track despite his initial setback, proving Dyer’s point that the loss may have actually propelled him forward in AEW.
