Following his debut on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, “Speedball” Mike Bailey has officially become All Elite.
In a surprise wild card appearance during the International title eliminator tournament, Bailey defeated The Beast Mortos, securing the pinfall victory with a decisive spinning crescent kick.
Bailey’s victory propels him into a four-way match on next week’s Dynamite, with the winner earning a shot at Kenny Omega’s International Championship at Dynasty. Immediately following his win, Tony Khan officially confirmed Bailey’s AEW signing.
Following the conclusion of his multi-year tenure with TNA Wrestling last November, 34-year-old Bailey’s move to AEW was heavily speculated upon after he entered free agency. This anticipation was further fueled three weeks ago by a vignette on Collision, which teased his imminent arrival.
