Professional wrestler Speedball Mike Bailey made an unexpected fashion statement during a high-stakes match at the recent AEW Worlds End pay-per-view. While his in-ring performance remained sharp, fans were quick to notice a significant change in his usual ring attire, sparking widespread speculation and discussion across social media platforms.
The event featured an eight-man tag team bout pitting the team of JetSpeed, comprising Kevin Knight and Mike Bailey, alongside Jurassic Express members Jack Perry and Luchasaurus against the opposing squad of Josh Alexander and The Demand, which included Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona. Bailey is known for his distinctive look of short trunks and kick pads, always competing barefoot. However, at Worlds End, he appeared in the ring wearing what was clearly his tag team partner’s gear: a pair of tights belonging to Kevin Knight.
This was far from a minor detail. The tights prominently displayed the word “Knight” across the front in a bold, Speed Racer-inspired font. This specific design is part of the themed gear the JetSpeed duo wore at a previous event, AEW All In: Texas, though on that occasion, Bailey had his own correct equipment. The visual of Bailey in Knight’s pants was captured by fans and quickly circulated online, with one popular post noting the unusual sight.
The reason behind the wardrobe switch remains officially unexplained, as Bailey has not publicly addressed the incident. The leading theory among the wrestling community, however, points to a common travel woe. Many observers believe Bailey’s luggage, containing his signature gear, was likely lost by an airline en route to the event, forcing him to borrow from his teammate at the last minute. Fan reactions on social media ranged from amusement to mock concern.
One supporter commented on the slightly unsettling sight of Bailey in another wrestler’s gear, while another expressed emotional sentiment over the partnership display. Several fans humorously suggested that the shared attire was a sign the JetSpeed team would remain united indefinitely.
Despite the unconventional outfit, the gear mishap did not hinder Bailey or his team’s performance. JetSpeed and Jurassic Express emerged victorious, securing a pinfall win over Josh Alexander and The Demand. The incident added a memorable, if quirky, footnote to an already eventful night of professional wrestling action.
