Tony Khan: I Would Love For Mick Foley To Wrestle In AEW

Mick Foley’s future in AEW is discussed by Tony Khan.

Coming up on May 24th is All Elite Wrestling’s 2026 Double or Nothing pay-per-view. It was revealed that Mick Foley will be co-hosting The Buy-In Zero Hour with Renee Paquette.

The WWE Hall of Famer took to Instagram and noted that he is All Elite. Foley’s arrival at AEW was discussed by company President Tony Khan during the Double or Nothing media call.

Khan stated that Foley will bring insight backstage and to the broadcast. On the in-ring front, Khan mentioned that he would love it if Foley wrestled for AEW.

“I’m very excited that Mick Foley is joining AEW, and I cannot wait to see Cactus Jack back on TBS and I am very excited to have him at Double or Nothing this Sunday as part of THE BUY-IN and we’re just thrilled Mick’s gonna be co-hosting the event with Renee (Paquette). They’re good friends and when I suggested this to Mick, he thought it was a great idea, and he’s really thrilled about it because we are big fans of Mick and Mick loves pro wrestling… He’s gonna bring so much knowledge and insight to the wrestlers backstage and to the broadcast, starting this Sunday… I can’t speak for Mick Foley as to whether he’d want to wrestle or if he’s going to wrestle anytime soon but if he ever does, I would love for him to do it in AEW. But I also don’t wanna put him in a situation in which he’ll be uncomfortable. I want him to feel good about this and I know he’s taken so many big hits and had such an amazing career with so many spectacular moments, and physically, I would ever only ask him to wrestle if he felt up to it and that he could live up to the physical demand.”

Back in 2024, Mick Foley revealed that he met with AEW’s MJF to have potentially have a match.
