Mick Foley has commented on his upcoming AEW debut.
AEW was reportedly showing ‘real interest’ in bringing Mick Foley into the company once his WWE Legends contract expired. On Wednesday, AEW owner Tony Khan confirmed Foley will join the company starting with its Double Or Nothing pay-per-view at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York on Sunday night.
Foley will be the new co-host of AEW’s The Buy In pay-per-view kickoff show alongside Renee Paquette. Khan did not explicitly state how long Foley will be around, but it was implied that he will make regular appearances rather than a one-time deal.
