Mike Bailey signed with TNA in 2022.
WWE has been scouting various talent on the independent scene over the past year. Former AEW wrestler Brian Pillman Jr. debuted on the brand last October and in recent months so has Ethan Page, though he claims he remains a free agent. 19-year-old Je'Von Evans is also part of the NXT brand alongside Uriah Connors .
As it turns out, WWE has scouted some of the top talent on the scene as well, including"Speedball" Mike Bailey who is currently signed to TNA. Bailey has been in the wrestling business for nearly two decades, appearing in many of the world's top companies over the last few years. He continues to dominate everywhere he goes with his innovative style so it's not hard to see why WWE would find him to be a valuable asset.
Bailey recently spoke about"signing" with WWE prior to his TNA signing. As it turns out, a highlight reel that he had posted got the attention of several companies including WWE. He was part of NXT for a few months but they let him go before he could actually be hired. After he did what was asked of him, he noticed a lot of the NXT roster was being fired.
Mike Bailey Almost Signs With WWE"I had already been talking with TNA, talked to some people from AEW, talked to NXT, got a bunch of offers and ended up taking the NXT one," Bailey said on Talk Is Jericho."Very excited to be there, they do the background check, they do the visa paperwork, that takes a couple months.
Of course, with WWE now collaborating with TNA and the possible crossover to TNA television soon, that opens the door for many possibilities, including for Bailey. He has also made it known that his current TNA contract expires at the end of 2024 and though he'd be interested in staying, he wouldn't mind pursuing ventures elsewhere either.
