WWE Legend Mick Foley Confirms AEW Signing; Debut Date Set
Tony Khan confirmed the WWE Hall of Famer will join Renee Paquette on the Buy-In, ending months of speculation about a possible AEW signing.
- AEW President Tony Khan confirmed on Wednesday that WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley will co-host the AEW Double Or Nothing 2026 Buy In pre-show alongside Renee Paquette.
- Foley departed WWE last year following a public separation, citing the promotion's relationship with President Donald Trump and comments regarding the death of Hollywood director Rob Reiner.
- Maxwell Jacob Friedman, known as MJF, expressed hostility toward Foley earlier this week, calling him "fat" and "ugly" while comparing the AEW World Championship contender to Darby Allin.
- Although Foley has not wrestled since the 2012 Royal Rumble, he has toyed with returning to the ring; AEW has not confirmed whether this is a one-time appearance.
- Foley shared on social media that he is "extremely happy" to join the roster, noting he looks forward to meeting AEW President Tony Khan for the first time in fifteen years.
