The new year brings a major shake-up in the wrestling world, with several high-profile contracts officially expiring and a fresh wave of free agents hitting the market.
Leading the pack is none other than “Speedball” Mike Bailey, who is set to bring his talent to AEW after wrapping up his TNA run back in October. While Bailey has been out of the spotlight, his contract officially ran through the end of 2024, making him a hot commodity for AEW’s roster.
Also stepping into free agency is Steph De Lander, who, despite being sidelined with an injury, remains one of the indie circuit’s biggest names. Alongside Matt Cardona, De Lander snagged the 2023 Indie Act of the Year award in the Fightful Awards, solidifying her status as a sought-after talent.
Other wrestlers seeing their contracts come to an end include Kushida, Aiden Prince, Bhupinder Gujjar, Jade Chung, and Trent Seven. Each of these names brings their own unique style and presence, making them intriguing prospects for promotions looking to bolster their ranks.
New Japan Pro Wrestling is also feeling the heat, with several contracts reportedly coming up imminently. While specifics remain under wraps, the news is sure to keep fans speculating about potential surprises in the weeks to come.
The wrestling free-agent market is hotter than ever as promotions from AEW to WWE and beyond look to snap up talent that could reshape their rosters in 2025.
