The bout was agreed to at IMPACT 1000 night two.
Alexander solidified himself as the number one contender at IMPACT Victory Road when he defeated Steve Maclin. Alexander never lost the IMPACT World Title, being forced to relinquish it due to injury ahead of IMPACT Rebellion. Maclin won the vacant title by defeating KUSHIDA, and then lost the title to Shelley at IMPACT Against All Odds.
