AEW Reportedly Has “Real” Interest in Mick Foley; Double or Nothing Appearance Possible

AEW has expressed “real” interest in working with Mick Foley this year, The Takedown on SI reports, though it remains unclear whether the promotion would sign him to a contract or bring him in for a one-off appearance. Foley is currently under a WWE Legends deal but will not renew when it expires next month, reportedly due to objections over WWE’s close relationship with President Donald Trump, and he has made recent appearances for OVW and GCW.

Sources told The Takedown they would not be surprised if Foley showed up at AEW Double or Nothing on May 24 at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York — Foley’s home state — where MJF defends his hair against AEW World Champion Darby Allin. Foley had considered a farewell match with MJF for his 60th birthday but scrapped in-ring plans after a 2024 concussion; he is meanwhile involved in several Hollywood projects, including a limited series with Paul Walter Hauser attached and voice work for an A24 death-match documentary.
