Speedball Mike Bailey is one of the biggest names in the industry right now thanks to his excellent in-ring skills. After parting ways with TNA Wrestling last year in November, he finally made his AEW debut this week and now he has confirmed the reason for his delayed debut.
Speedball Mike Bailey made his AEW debut on Dynamite this week, securing a victory over The Beast Mortos in the AEW International Title Eliminator Tournament. Instead of using his usual finisher, The Ultimate Weapon, he opted for a tornado kick to finish the match.
While speaking toSP3 of Sports Illustrated, Bailey revealed that he had been working on this new move while spending time in Canada between December and March, where he was renewing his visa. During that period, he trained extensively at the IWS dojo in Montreal, focusing on perfecting the kick. He wanted a faster and more direct finisher that didnt require a complex setup like his previous move.
Mike Bailey has now officially named this new finisher Time Adventure, inspired by the final episode of the animated series Adventure Time, which he considers one of the greatest TV shows of all time.
After winning his AEW debut, Mike Bailey is now just one victory away from earning a rematch for the AEW International Championship. He will compete against Orange Cassidy and the winner of the other tournament matches in a four-way match. The winner of that match will go on to face Kenny Omega for the title at AEW Dynasty. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether Mike Bailey will get a shot at Kenny Omega next month.
