Mike Bailey wants everyone to wrestle everyone.
Throughout 2024, WWE has established working relationships with promotions like TNA, NOAH, and GCW. As a result, stars like Joe Hendry, Jordynne Grace, Wes Lee, Tavion Heights, and Charlie Dempsey have all got a chance to shine while competing against fresh talent from other promotions.
While speaking to Brass Ring Media for a new interview, Bailey was asked about WWE working with TNA. In response, Bailey praised the partnership, saying that barriers are bad within the world of wrestling.
“Borders and barriers are generally a bad thing, especially when it comes to professional wrestling. There’s so much great matches and great pairings that aren’t able to happen for contractual reasons, which makes perfect sense, but also, the wrestling world would be better without those barriers. It’s a great opportunity for people from TNA to go on NXT. Look at what it’s done for Joe Hendry, who was already becoming the most famous wrestler in the world. Getting to be himself on NXT is good for him, it’s good for TNA, and I mean, the fact that these relationships get to happen in 2024 is surreal. It's fantastic and I think everyone is going to grow from it. There’s no other way to say it, those barriers are bad. Everyone should wrestle everyone. That would make everyone that much better.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Bailey named Trick Williams as the NXT star that he would pick to face. Learn more about those comments here.
