Speedball Mike Bailey has recently found himself at the center of backstage heat, reportedly involving MVP. Last week, Fightful Select shared a report highlighting ongoing issues connected to MVP, who reportedly upset several figures within the wrestling world. According to the Wrestling Binder’s JCup2013 during a Twitter Space discussion, MVP has caused friction in recent months, particularly with Speedball Mike Bailey, though the exact reason for their conflict remains unclear.
The tension was publicly acknowledged before the latest Dynamite event, where Bailey was set to wrestle Jon Moxley. MVP posted a humorous video showing himself, Shelton Benjamin, and Bobby Lashley confront Bailey while he was filming. In the clip, MVP said, “Fuck you, Speedball,” to which Bailey responded in kind, followed by a visibly disappointed Lashley and Benjamin imitating MVP’s tone.
Speedball Mike Bailey Shares His Perspective Amid Rivalries
Mike Bailey has since addressed the backstage heat by releasing a new vlog that explains the context of MVP’s video and sheds light on his side of the story. He revealed that he was filming a segment for his vlog when MVP and the others interrupted. Bailey and his partner Veda Scott also made light of his growing reputation for making enemies, emphasizing the tension with humor.
During the vlog, Bailey remarked,
“I’m glad that at Dynamite this week that I got to make even more enemies, piss more people off, get even more heat. Now, me and Kevin have the JetRiders on our back, so…”
Scott responded, “The JetRiders?”
Bailey corrected, “The DeathRiders!”
Scott teased,
“If you take over the DeathRiders, they would be the JetRiders. So that’s another reason you are gathering enemies everywhere you go.”
Bailey admitted,
“Because I can’t get anyone’s name right.”
Scott added,
“You’re trying to take over all of the groups!”
Bailey replied,
“The Hurt Locker, the JetRiders, ahh man…”
Scott finished with, “Fuck you, Speedball.”
Implications of Rising Conflicts in the Wrestling Community
The exchange between Bailey and MVP reflects more than a simple backstage spat; it highlights the complex rivalries developing among key wrestling figures and factions such as The Hurt Business and the DeathRiders. As Bailey continues to acknowledge and even embrace the heat he receives, it remains uncertain how these tensions will affect upcoming storylines and alliances. Fans can expect further developments as Bailey prepares for future matches and navigates the growing hostilities surrounding him.
