After being presented with the contract, he signed it on Josh Alexander’s back.
Bailey is 31-years old and was unable to compete in the United States over the past five years after a ban was issued for that time period after attempting to cross the border in for a show in 2016.
Bailey was one of the top unsigned talents on the independent scene and has remained active over the past five years wrestling for DDT, wXw, and Rev Pro among the many worldwide promotions he has competed for during that stretch.
Josh Alexander praised the signing and said that it would be “the steal of a signing people talk about in 5 yrs”.
