AEW reportedly close to signing 34-year-old multi-time champion

AEW is reportedly close to signing a 34-year-old multi-time champion in what will be seen as a surprise move. All Elite President Tony Khan will be very excited about this.

"Speedball" Mike Bailey is one of the most talented wrestlers in the independent scene. It was reported that Bailey's contract with TNA expired on November 1, making him a free agent. In TNA, he was a former three-time X Division Champion and one of their standout stars.

However, it has now been reported that Bailey is on his way to AEW. Fightful Select noted that Tony Khan is close to signing up the former TNA star in what will be seen as a major coup.

Mike Bailey was last seen in Impact Wrestling on the November 7 episode when he lost his X Division title to Moose. One week later, it was revealed that his contract had ended, and his profile was taken down from the website.

AEW’s roster is already stacked with a lot of names, and adding "Speedball" Mike Bailey to that list would make it even more interesting. The list of potential opponents for Bailey will be big, and it can only mean good things for the company.
