Oh, folks, we’ve got a spicy meatball in the wrestling pot! TNA’s “Speedball” Mike Bailey was spotted backstage at AEW Collision tapings on June 22, and everyone is speculating like it’s the Super Bowl of gossip. But, hold your horses! No “All Elite” fireworks are on the horizon just yet.
Speedball’s Backstage Shenanigans
The sleuths over at Fightful Select broke the news that our Speedball wasn’t there for contract signings or secret handshakes with Tony Khan. Nope, he was just visiting friends. It’s like the wrestling version of a casual drop-in at a neighbor’s barbecue. The friends in question? It’s a mystery! Could be AEW talent, the crew, or maybe the guy who stocks the vending machines. Who knows?
Contractual Conundrums
Bailey, the wrestling world’s own Energizer Bunny, is locked in with TNA until the end of the year. But don’t let that fool you; he’s on everyone’s radar. WWE nearly scooped him up before their hiring spree did a 180. Bailey’s got connections, charisma, and let’s face it, a name that sounds like he should be in an action movie.
The Meteoric Rise
This guy has tangled with some of the biggest names and holds a high ranking in the 2022 Queer Wrestling Index, proving he’s not just fast in the ring but also a trailblazer. From his five-year U.S. wrestling ban to tearing it up internationally with DDT and RevPro, Speedball’s journey reads like an epic saga. He’s been making waves in TNA since 2021, and he’s not slowing down.
So, while there’s no contract drama (yet), keep your popcorn ready, folks. Speedball Mike Bailey might just surprise us all.
