AEW Star ‘Excited’ By New Star Joining The Company

AEW

Ricochet has revealed that he’s excited that Speedball Mike Bailey has chosen to sign a contract with AEW.

In February 2025, it was reported that Speedball Mike Bailey had signed a deal with AEW having left TNA Wrestling earlier in the year.

With Bailey’s AEW debut match taking place on March 12, 2025, Ricochet has recently addressed the new signing.

Speaking on The Mark Hoke Show, Ricochet shared his excitement at the signing, before tempering his enthusiasm, saying:

“Yes, I’m very excited. Obviously I’ve known Speedball for a long time now.

“I remember when he first started debuting himself on the independent scene.

“So I’m very aware of Mike Bailey as well. Orange Cassidy, another guy plenty of history with.

“But, yeah, it’s great to have Mike Bailey, new blood on the roster.

“A new guy that I am going to be able to just smack in his mouth, you know, a new guy that I’m going to be able to just basically dog walk and not have to worry about.

“But for the company, it’s great. I mean, for me, I’m not really too worried. But for the company, it’s great.”

Bailey returns to AEW Dynamite on March 19 in the Dynasty International Championship Eliminator 4-Way.

That AEW Dynamite match will see Bailey in the ring with Ricochet, Orange Cassidy and Mark Davis.

Tony Khan has advised that, despite severe weather in Omaha, Nebraska, all the wrestlers for the March 19 show are in the city.
