Backstage update on when AEW's Christian Cage could lose IMPACT World title - Reports
Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer believes Josh Alexander could dethrone AEW's Christian Cage for the IMPACT World Championship.
During the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer stated that IMPACT Wrestling is keen to make Josh Alexander their next top guy in the company. He noted that AEW star Christian Cage won't be their champion for much longer since Alexander is on the verge of getting the biggest push of his career:
"Josh Alexander may win that, you know. Yeah, it could be Josh. I was told that Josh Alexander was gonna be kind of the main event for Bound For Glory. I wouldn't be surprised, because you know, I don't see Christian being there forever, and he's gotta lose to somebody there right. Josh Alexander, you know, the guy who I heard was getting the biggest push. So, it could be him," Dave Meltzer said.

Christian Cage has had a fruitful run with the IMPACT World Championship since winning it from Kenny Omega in the inaugural edition of AEW Rampage last month. The former WWE superstar then went on to have two successful defenses against Brian Myers and Ace Austin.
In what took the entire wrestling world by shock, Josh Alexander recently exercised Option-C, meaning he would relinquish his X-Division Championship for a shot at Christian's title.
The company has made the bout official, and both men will be on a collision course heading into The Bound For Glory pay-per-view on October 23rd. Given the sound technique of both men, their encounter will be a stellar contest. If Meltzer's report is any indication, it could even be a passing of the torch moment for The Walking Weapon.
