“Speedball” Mike Bailey is ready to make waves in All Elite Wrestling after his arrival in the company. He recently opened up about who he’d like to face off against in the ring.
Speaking to Chris Mueller of Bleacher Report in a recent interview, Bailey was asked about who he might like to face off in the ring. Bailey had one name on top of the list, even if it might be a little improbable right now.
“On top of that list is Bryan Danielson,” Bailey said. “If that is still a possibility, if that is still something that can happen within the next few years, that is definitely very, very high on the list for me. There’s a lot of obvious ones. I’d love to mix it up with ‘Hangman’ Adam Page, who is doing absolutely fantastic. One of my favorite performers there right now.”
Danielson ended his full-time career at AEW WrestleDream after losing to Jon Moxley last year. However, it’s still possible he could make part-time appearances. Bailey also shouted out the likes of MJF as someone who he thinks might be fun to “mix it up” with.
“I would love to mix it up with MJF. I think the kind of wrestling and the kind of program he does, he does better than anybody. And I haven’t really had the chance to go and do that with someone who does it as well as he does,” said Bailey. “So, I think that would be a great learning opportunity for me. But also a chance to showcase the other side of ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey that people might not have seen as much.”
‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey recently shared how Adventure Time inspired the name of his new finisher move.
Bailey is one of two challengers for Kenny Omega’s International Championship at AEW Dynasty. Two opponents were named, thanks to an interesting finish in the four-way match to determine a #1 Contender on Dynamite. Catch up on everything that went down on this week’s episode of Dynamite here.
