"Speedball" Mike Bailey Expected To Join AEW Following TNA Exit

Mike Bailey is done with TNA and could be heading to AEW, according to a new report.

Fightful Select noted that "Speedball's" TNA contract expired on November 1. His profile was removed from the TNA website last week and, while he is still featured on some TNA promotional flyers, Bailey was not at the last set of TNA television tapings.

During the last set of tapings he did perform at (on October 27), Bailey was said to have been saying his goodbyes to the roster and gave a heartfelt speech thanking the locker room.

Bailey - who filed to trademark his name this month - was expected to receive interest from numerous companies, but it looks as though his next destination will be AEW.

Per Fightful, the 34-year-old former X-Division Champion is expected to be AEW-bound, with several TNA talents and other sources close to him suggesting that Tony Khan's promotion will be his next destination.

Other sources indicated that TNA wouldn't have needed to write Bailey off television if he was going to NXT/WWE (something TNA later confirmed to Fightful).

Earlier this year, Bailey detailed almost signing with WWE prior to inking a deal with TNA.
