Speedball Mike Bailey Exits TNA, Trademarks His Name
‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey is on his way out of TNA and many expect him to be AEW-bound imminently. Though latest reports suggests that it will still be a few weeks before he is officially able to make his next move.
The former X-Divison Champion finished his run with the Anthem-owned promotion during their Detroit tapings in October. He was absent from this month’s tapings from Fayetteville, NC. The former champion further signified the end of his current run by filing a trademark application for his name.
Fightful Select is now reporting however that Bailey’s contract has not actually expired. While he has effectively finished up with the company, his contract officially expires at the end of the year.
Mike was allowed to talk to other companies starting in November but he won’t be able to actually sign a contract with a different promotion until next year.
Mike Bailey is believed to be headed to AEW following his Impact departure. Though this complication means that he will likely not be making his debut as part of the 2024 Continental Classic tournament as fans expected.
The 34-year-old made his wrestling debut back in 2006. He competed for promotions such as Ring of Honor, CZW, PWG and more during his early years.
The Canadian star joined the TNA roster in October 2021. He’s used the TNA spotlight well and has made a name for himself as one of the best in-ring talents in the world.
