TNA star backstage at AEW this week (Patreon)

One of wrestling’s best in-ring performers was backstage at AEW this week.

Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp has confirmed that TNA star “Speedball” Mike Bailey was backstage at Thursday’s AEW Collision tapings. Fightful was told that Bailey was there visiting friends, and was welcomed backstage as he has many connections there.

We’ve not heard of any talks going on beyond that, and Bailey is still under contract with TNA until the end of the year. We’ve heard that there has long been interest from a variety of companies in possibly using Bailey. He nearly signed with WWE a couple of years ago,  until changes in hiring guidelines prevented it.
