Reason for Mike Bailey’s AEW Debut Delay – During this week’s AEW Collision, a vignette aired promoting Speedball Mike Bailey’s upcoming debut with the company. However, no official date has been announced for his first appearance.
Bailey’s contract with TNA Wrestling expired at the end of 2023, though his final appearance for the promotion took place in late October. Due to contractual obligations, he was unable to sign with any promotion until January 1.
According to Fightful, both AEW and WWE expressed interest in signing Bailey once he became a free agent. Ultimately, he agreed to a multi-year deal with AEW. Despite signing with the company, his debut has been delayed due to ongoing visa processing. Bailey was represented by an agent throughout the negotiations to secure his contract.
While an exact debut date remains uncertain, AEW has begun building anticipation for his arrival, signaling that his in-ring debut could happen soon once his visa issues are resolved.
