Professional wrestling career

Independent circuit (2005–present)

Josh Alexander was trained to wrestle by Johnny Devine. He debuted in 2005. He then started his career on the regional Canadian independent circuit. He met fellow wrestler Ethan Page in the Alpha-1 promotion in Ontario in 2010, where the two became close friends. A year later, they formed the tag team Monster Mafia where they wrestled for various promotions including Ring of Honor and AAW Wrestling. In 2013 he suffered a neck injury during a AAW match. After taking time off to heal, he returned to action. A few months after, he reinjured his neck during a ROH tryout match with ReDRagon. He had herniated a disk so he would have his C5-C6 vertebrae fused to fix the injury.
However, he did not take time off during this time and kept the injury a secret, not wanting to squander the opportunity to work with ROH. In February 2015, Monster Mafia debuted for Pro Wrestling Guerilla, facing The Young Bucks in their first match. He would shortly after again injure his neck in a match with Matt Sydal and Chris Sabin. Alexander would again work through it, with Page and him participating in the annual Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament in May. They would win the PWG World Tag Team Championship in the first round match with Joey Ryan and Candice LeRae. The reign would be short-lived, losing it later that night. Alexander would again have neck surgery in July 2015, retiring from wrestling.
After him and Page momentary went their separate ways, he wrestled for Absolute Intense Wrestling, PROGRESS Wrestling, and Beyond Wrestling, among other promotions.

Impact Wrestling (2019–present)

In February 2019, Alexander signed a three-year contract with American promotion Impact Wrestling. Impact Wrestling subsequently hyped Alexander's debut with an online documentary made by Toronto-based filmmaker Glen Matthews. Alexander reformed with Ethan Page under the name The North, as they defeated El Reverso and Sheldon Jean on the April 12 episode of Impact. On July 5 at the Bash at the Brewery event, The North defeated The Latin American Xchange to win the Impact World Tag Team Championship for the first time.
