UPDATE: Fightful Select reports Bailey’s contract expired on November 1.
ORIGINAL: It appears that a notable TNA star is on his way out of the promotion.
‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey is one of the biggest names in TNA right now. Before joining the promotion in 2021, he had interest from WWE.
Fightful Select recently reported that Bailey’s deal is through the end of this year, and he was backstage at an AEW show this year visiting friends. However, the two sides didn’t have any talks. Ibou of WrestlePurists reported that Bailey’s deal is up in December.
I’ve already stated on air that I was told the word was Mike Bailey’s deal was up in December.

Fans have noticed that Bailey is no longer listed on the TNA website. This would indicate that he’s a free agent after recently dropping the X-Division Title.
