10 Wrestlers Who Should Hold The AEW All-Atlantic Title

10. “Speedball” Mike Bailey

Trying to secure a US booking without a VISA was nearly enough to curtail Mike Bailey’s promising career. As he watched peers sign with Impact or NXT, the Canadian found himself banned from the US for five years. Instead of giving up, he plotted a new course to success. From 2016 to 2020, Bailey wrestled all over the world - including Japan, the UK and Mexico - before the global pandemic made things even harder.

His exile came to an end earlier this year and the 32-year-old quickly started making up for lost time. He’s now finally working for Impact Wrestling but continues to compete and wow crowds for various independents as well.

Tony Khan loves a good cameo, and the All-Atlantic Title would be a good excuse to give “Speedball” a few showcase appearances in AEW. The former X-Division Champion is more than capable of a showstopping display.

Plus, having an AEW regular lose the belt to an Impact talent and having that champion defend the belt across several promotions would really help get across the All-Atlantic Title’s unique selling point.

Instead of letting fans see the belt as a third tier championship, open their eyes to its possibilities.
