Josh Alexander returns to AEW, ambushes Steven Borden and targets Darby Allin

entertainmentSep 2, 202635295

Josh Alexander made an unexpected return to AEW on the September 2 episode of AEW Dynamite, attacking Steven Borden and locking TNT Champion Darby Allin in an Ankle Lock. The return came immediately after Allin retained the TNT Championship over Mark Davis, who tried to continue the assault after the match. Steven Borden rushed to the ring to save Allin, but Alexander charged in from behind to blindside Borden before applying the Ankle Lock to Allin. This marked Alexander's first AEW television appearance since March 2026, when a severe knee injury sidelined him. The post-match assault served as Alexander's first in-ring statement since his injury and puts him squarely into AEW television storylines again.

Every Dynamite after a PPV should be a Mystery Vortex type show. Don't announce any matches on purpose but said there will be a certain number of them.

This is one of the best announcements of a title match I think I've maybe ever seen? I've never seen two guys just IN SHOCK that they just got booked against each other at the PPV. I mean like 100% never ever seen that. That's fucking cool as fuck, TK is on another level. #AEWDynamite 🤼

Forgot “ankle lock” for a second and just said “choking his ankle” Josh Alexander was choking Darby Allin’s ankle. Yup. That’s exactly what happened. 🤼

TK decided to make it really awkward while they were out there in kayfabe. Like in kayfabe Mox had no idea that was being announced and his reaction was hilarious. #AEWDynamite

MJF should only ever do Promos right after matches and I've been saying it for like a year now. I haven't loved this Real Worlds Champ shit but Unhinged Unraveling Blood Thirsty Big 'Brew Promo is un fucking real good. This guy. This is the guy. #AEWDynamite
