Mike Bailey: Exclusive Contracts Are Bad for Wrestlers’ Development, Praises AEW Partnerships
Mike Bailey told Adrian Hernandez that while exclusive contracts serve a business purpose, they are “bad for pro wrestlers” and hinder in-ring development and diversity. He argued that limiting who can work where prevents dream match-ups and noted AEW’s partnerships with CMLL and New Japan as a positive step toward letting the best wrestlers — regardless of language or background — compete at the top.
Bailey recently worked three CMLL shows in Mexico, headlining the April 3 Arena Mexico card while defending the AEW World Trios titles alongside Kevin Knight and Mistico, and picking up additional wins at Arena Coliseo and Arena Mexico. He, Knight and Mistico are scheduled to defend the Trios titles on Collision against Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors and David Finlay in a match taped in Edmonton; Bailey’s full interview with Hernandez contains his extended thoughts on exclusivity in wrestling.

Anthony Bowens Says His Singles Run Still Has “Unfinished Business”
Anthony Bowens told the Battleground podcast that his singles career in AEW isn’t over, saying there is still “unfinished business” to settle. The comments come after a major shift in his trajectory on the April 25 episode of AEW Collision, when Bowens was officially welcomed into The Opps alongside Samoa Joe and HOOK.
While joining The Opps marks a new chapter in Bowens’ career, he made clear in the interview that he hasn’t closed the door on solo ambitions and sees more to accomplish as a singles competitor. Fans will be watching to see how Bowens balances his role in the faction with the lingering goals he hinted at pursuing on his own.
