Mike Bailey is happy with his spot in United Empire.
Bailey surprised fans by joining the group on the September 23 episode of AEW Dynamite. Whether it be luck or a wave of momentum, ‘Speedball’ hasn’t lost a match since making that decision.
Speaking with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp for a new interview, Mike Bailey admitted that he was hesitant to join another group/team.
“There was some hesitation in joining a group once again. I think AEW has a lot of factions and it is
interesting to be a lone wolf, but obviously, I think those groups tend to to drag each other up, which is
great. However, the last team I was in did not end very well. So having been hurt in the past, there was
some hesitation, but when I talked about it with Will and saw the other members that were in it—I think
Andrade is absolutely a top star in AEW right now. There is no doubt about it. He is doing his best work
and it’s amazing to watch him being a part of the United Empire.”
Bailey went on to say that Will Ospreay help him get to the next level.
“Will Ospreay, I was thinking back when it was brought up to his match with Kenny Omega at All In,
which I was completely blown away watching, thinking not only this is the best pro wrestling that we
have ever seen, this is some of greatest stuff in history that I am seeing being written before my eyes, but
also thinking this is exactly where I believe I belong. I want to prove that, and I want to get there, and I
know that I can reach that level, and who better to take me there than Will Ospreay.”
