IMPACT Wrestling star ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey has commented on reports that he was in talks with WWE about a potential deal in 2021.
In May 2021, it was reported that WWE was working on signing Bailey. Speaking with Denise Salcedo on Instinct Culture, Bailey clarified that his discussions with WWE weren’t official negociations, noting that he isn’t sure how much of the reports about the company trying to sign him are true.
Addressing the rumors, Bailey said:
“Not in any concrete way…. There were like discussions but they’re kinda always are, you always hear rumblings and I never know how much of that is true. So that’s always a weird thing, I’ve heard people say that people have said that they heard someone say that they were definitely going to sign me. I don’t know how much that’s worth.”
In November, IMPACT Wrestling confirmed that Bailey has officially signed with the promotion. The Canadian talent made his IMPACT in-ring debut during the pre-show for last month’s Hard To Kill pay-per-view.
The rising star recently had an impressive showing in the 2022 PWG Battle of Los Angeles tournament.
