AEW Confirms “Speedball” Mike Bailey’s Arrival with Teaser on Collision

After months of speculation, AEW has officially put the rumors to rest—“Speedball” Mike Bailey is on his way.

During the February 22, 2025, episode of AEW Collision, a dramatic video package aired, signaling Bailey’s arrival to the company.

The teaser didn’t hold back, showcasing Bailey’s in-ring style and teasing the kind of chaos he’s about to bring to AEW. The message was clear: “Speedball” Mike Baily is coming. No more speculation, no more contract uncertainty—Bailey is stepping into All Elite Wrestling, and it’s only a matter of time before he shakes up the roster.

This update comes after months of contract drama, with reports initially suggesting that Bailey’s TNA deal had expired in November 2024. However, it was later revealed that his contract officially ran through the end of 2024, creating doubt over when and where he’d show up. That doubt is now erased. AEW just made it official—Bailey’s arrival isn’t a question of if, but when.

Now that AEW has confirmed Mike Bailey’s arrival, the only question is—who’s his first target? Should AEW throw him straight into the title picture, or does he need to earn his spot first? Drop your predictions in the comments!
