Mike Bailey has their eyes on some of AEW’s best.
On March 12, ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey made their AEW debut, coming in as the wildcard in the International Championship Eliminator Tournament and facing The Beast Mortos. The arrival of the 34-year-old has been long awaited, and, now they’re here, Bailey is looking to step into the ring with some of the best that the company have to offer.
Speaking to Chris Mueller of Bleacher Report, Mike Bailey listed Bryan Danielson, Hangman Page and MJF as potential future opponents in AEW.
“On top of that list is Bryan Danielson. If that is still a possibility, if that is still something that can happen within the next few years, that is definitely very, very high on the list for me. There’s a lot of obvious ones. I’d love to mix it up with “Hangman” Adam Page, who is doing absolutely fantastic. One of my favorite performers there right now. I would love to mix it up with MJF. I think the kind of wrestling and the kind of program he does, he does better than anybody, and I haven’t really had the chance to go and do that with someone who does it as well as he does. So, I think that would be a great learning opportunity for me, but also a chance to showcase the other side of ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey that people might not have seen as much.”

Bailey has already made an immediate impact in AEW, qualifying to face International Champion Kenny Omega as part of a triple threat also involving Ricochet at Dynasty on April 6. With that, they have the chance to claim their first piece of singles gold in the company less than a month after their debut, although whether that happens remains to be seen.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on Mike Bailey in AEW as soon as we hear more.
