Speeball Mike Bailey is done with TNA for now.

PWInsider is that Speedball's deal expired on November 1, though Fightful has heard it runs through the end of the year. He'd signed with TNA back in 2021, and his profile was removed from TNA's website this week.

He's still on some flyers, but wasn't at the last set of tapings, and filed for trademarks on his name this month. He finished up at the Detroit tapings.

Bailey is expected to get interest from a number of outside companies. He was backstage at AEW this summer, and at one point years ago had agreed to a WWE deal.

Fightful Select had reported that Bailey's deal would be up towards the end of the year, which he confirmed in a recent interview.

Bailey is still featured on some TNA flyers, but we've not heard of any plans for him to be on future shows. Multiple people say he was saying his goodbyes in Detroit, and gave a heart felt thank you to the locker room. He will be in Winston-Salem at Wrestlecade where TNA has their next PPV.

Bailey is well liked among most everyone in wrestling, and will have people pushing for him in both WWE and AEW.

UPDATE: In an update, Fightful Select has learned that Speedball Mike Bailey is expected to be All Elite Wrestling bound.

A number of talent within TNA, as well as sources close to Bailey claim that he'd headed to the company. Other sources indicated -- and TNA sources later confirmed -- that they wouldn't have needed to write Bailey off TNA TV if he were headed to NXT or WWE.

Yeah, I saw that they removed him from the TNA roster page

David C

C2. 13 days.

P1eces

I hope he gets his bag somewhere. One of the most consistent and fun wrestlers to watch of the last several years

Fletcher DeRouen

God, in a perfect world, he'd be the shock addition to the C2, and be in Okada's bracket. (also, I hope they increase the C2 number to 16, AKA 8 per league. just feels like a better number tbh.)

Matt Hennessy

I’m an AEW fan I’m a WWE fan so regardless of where Speedball goes I win get the bag. Him Alexander Grace & Gresham all have deals coming soon or that have expired. If I’m betting man Speedball & Alexander head to AEW Grace & Gresham head to WWE

David C

I’d love that but i don’t think it’s realistically possible with the hours they have between the 27th & Worlds End. Maybe next year….

Peyton Carter

Would love for him to be a surprise along with Bandido in the C2

I've never wanted anything more than Speedball in AEW. Been saying that for years now.

Stephen Bradley

Could see aew for him but he’d be great in NXT that men’s division needs some more names

Manton

So it begins. Not with a bang, but a Speedball

Trevor D.

I’d love him to come in and headline NXT for a year or so. I think he’d be great for that men’s division that sorely needs an injection of male talent.

Joe

Damn It NXT could’ve used him

Ryan Best

Super excited for this, would love if they put him straight in the Continental Classic

Flameducky

They have an army of college athletes and wwe id people waiting in the wings. Aew needs him more right now

Matthew Brownlee

The thought of that makes sense now thinking about it cause that's scary they doing with Jordynne Grace basically. NXT really needed him, ngl, they Mens division is poopy, and he would of been perfect. I hope and pray they got something for him in AEW, that division is stacked as can be. He gonna have great matches easily, but is that all he gonna be doing?

Andrew Bates

The matches Speedball is gonna have in AEW omg

Insomnia Inc

Inject him in the C2 directly into my veins.

rocksolid124

Speedball is going to fit AEW like a glove.

Nick Cattles

Never received an email with this news. Not sure why, but wanted to give you the heads up, Sean.

Stalla

He fits best in AEW.

BugabooJonez

fuck yeah, dude. toss that mfer in the c2 let's goooooo
