AEW star ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey recently revealed his new look, inspired by the famous Tekken character King.
In the popular fighting game series Tekken, King wears a jaguar mask and uses powerful wrestling moves. The character takes inspiration from Japanese wrestling legend Tiger Mask and real-life Mexican wrestler Fray Tormenta, a Catholic priest who became a masked wrestler to support an orphanage.
Recently, ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey shared a photo of himself in the King-inspired outfit on X, formerly known as Twitter.

‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey names which AEW stars top his list of opponents
‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey is set to compete at AEW Dynasty in a triple threat match for the International Championship against champion Kenny Omega and Ricochet. In a recent interview with Chris Mueller of Bleacher Report, Bailey discussed potential future opponents.
“On top of that list is Bryan Danielson. 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.”
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.”
