‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey Removed from TNA Roster Amid Speculation of AEW Move

Speedball’ Mike Bailey appears to be on the verge of leaving the promotion, sparking rumors about his future in professional wrestling.

Bailey, who joined TNA in late 2021 and transitioned to full-time in January 2022, has been a major figure for the company, even capturing the X-Division Championship earlier this year.

Recent developments indicate that Bailey’s time with TNA may be coming to an end. According to earlier reports, Bailey’s contract runs through the end of 2024, and while he was spotted backstage at an AEW show earlier this year, it was reportedly just a friendly visit with no formal discussions about a move. Despite WWE showing interest in Bailey before he joined TNA, there have been no recent updates on that front.

Adding fuel to the speculation, Ringside News have noticed that Bailey’s profile has been removed from the official TNA website—a possible sign that he is now a free agent. This comes shortly after he dropped the X-Division Title, suggesting that his departure is imminent.

In an exciting match that could hint at what’s next, Bailey is set to wrestle AEW’s Shelton Benjamin at WrestleCade on November 30 in Winston-Salem, NC. This bout could be a precursor to bigger opportunities in AEW or elsewhere for the high-flying, hard-hitting competitor.
