Josh Alexander has become the Longest-Reigning Impact Wrestling World Champion of All-Time. He claimed the title on April 23rd 2022, at the Rebellion pay-per-view, defeating Moose. He has now been the World Champion for 257 consecutive days, surpassing Bobby Roode’s 256-day World Championship run that started on October 26th 2011.

He has been the Impact X Division Champion and is a two-time Impact World Tag Team Champion as The North, a team that also was record-setting.

Welcome to the debut of the weekly Ring of Honor TV review here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I’m thrilled to give you the run-down on Ring of Honor’s one-hour fight cards that appear on Sinclair Broadcast Group’s numerous television affiliates.
