34-year-old star sends a message after AEW confirms match against Kazuchika Okada

AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada is set to defend his title against the 34-year-old "Speedball" Mike Bailey at Double or Nothing 2025. Bailey signed with All Elite Wrestling earlier this year and has already become a fan favorite. It can't be said if Bailey will become the new champion this weekend. However, fans worldwide are looking forward to the bout.

Kazuchika Okada has been the Continental Champion for more than 420 days. He is one of the biggest assets of the Tony Khan-led company as a top heel. Okada vs. Bailey promises to steal the show in Arizona.

The Canadian native is quite excited for this showdown, and a few hours ago, he expressed his excitement on X.

"LFG #AEWDoN," Bailey wrote.

Before joining All Elite Wrestling, "Speedball" Mike Bailey was signed to TNA. There, he held the TNA X Division Championship thrice. He has also wrestled in promotions such as DDT Pro-Wrestling and CZW.
