In a bout set up on social media this evening, Jay White’s US of Jay open challenge series will continue against Impact Wrestling’s “Speedball” Mike Bailey.

In prior editions of the open challenge series, White has defeated Christopher Daniels, Jay Lethal, and Shane “Swerve” Strickland.
Bailey signed with Impact last October after he had been unable to enter the United States for five years due to a visa issue.
Two matches have now been announced for Lonestar Shootout. Already set, Chris Dickinson will return from injury to take on NJPW stalwart Tomohiro Ishii.
