He is signed to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he is the leader of the Order 4 stable. He is a former one-time TNA International Champion and one-time TNA X Division Champion. He also makes appearances on the independent circuit. Alam began his professional wrestling career on the independent circuit in 2003, while also working as a police officer in a Chicago suburb for four years.
