Matt Hardy previously said that Mike Bailey would be a great fit for AEW

AEW is known for its fast-paced action. The roster is filled with several great high flyers and Luchadors who can perform incredible moves at terrific speeds. It seems only fitting that Mike Bailey would join this incredible roster, given how well he matches the styles of several AEW stars.

Speaking on his podcast, "The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy," the tag team legend stated that Mike Bailey would be an ideal fit for AEW because he aligns well with the type of matches AEW regularly produces on television. However, Hardy also hopes that the former X Division Champion doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

“I think he’s an ideal fit for AEW, especially with their style and the kind of matches they typically aim to produce on television. He’s going to do great out there. I have nothing but the greatest things to say about Mike Bailey. My time working with him has been a pleasure—he really gets it."

It will be interesting to see if Speedball Mike Bailey will receive a push upon arriving in AEW.
