34-year-old star breaks silence after a big loss on AEW Dynamite last week

AEW is headed for its seventh annual Double Or Nothing event, and tension is high as members of the roster hope to secure a spot at the flagship pay-per-view. Dynamite and Collision are must-see TV for the All Elite die-hards this time of year, and last week's show is still a hot debate. A fan-favorite star is causing a bit of a stir with his remarks on a current champion.

Dynamite aired live from Norfolk, VA's Chartway Arena for the fourth time last Wednesday. An All-Star tag team match saw Ricochet join The Elite's Kazuchika Okada, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson to defeat Mike Bailey, Mark Briscoe, Kevin Knight, and Kenny Omega. The 26-minute opener ended with Okada pinning Briscoe.

Bailey riled up some fans on his latest YouTube vlog, seen below, featuring behind-the-scenes footage from Dynamite. The three-time TNA X-Division Champion recalled hitting his spinning thrust kick on Okada.

"I did ultimately lose that exchange, but I did end up spinning-thrust-kicking Okada right in the face, which was pretty nice pretty cool moment. I'll be honest gotta be pretty happy with that one and also Kevin Knight and I are really finding our footing as a tag team, so I hope that we keep that going," Mike Bailey said. [H/T to Fightful]

Speedball and The Rainmaker have shared the ring just three times in their careers, and all three with Bailey vs. Okada were 8-man tag team matches. Okada's team won at a DDT event in 2018, Bailey's team won at an NJPW show in 2023, and Okada's crew was victorious again on Dynamite.
