6. Mike Bailey

If you've been on social media since this surprise entrant was formally announced, chances are you've seen a few fans praying for it to be 'Speedball' Mike Bailey. You can't really argue with them about it, either.

A regular of the critically-acclaimed Japanese promotion Dramatic Dream Team, this Canadian striker is legitimately one of the most underrated talents in modern wrestling. Bailey was one of the standout imports in WCPW, having countless bangers with Hiromu Takahashi, Brent Banks, and KUSHIDA.

It's key to note that Bailey was actually banned from entering the United States for five years after being stopped by border control in March 2016 for having no work visa. Look at the date there - March 2016.

Five years thereafter is March 2021; the timeframe of AEW Revolution.

From a legal standpoint, the former KO-D Tag Team Champion could be brought in to work Revolution. His first match back on American soil being both for a major company and in a match stipulation where he can do all kinds of flippy sh*t just makes sense.

Just think about the sheer number of tantalising matches Mike could have in AEW; vs. Darby Allin, vs. Ricky Starks, vs. Jungle Boy, vs. Sammy Guevara. All solidified bangers.
