Posted: Apr 1st 2026 By: Shounak Chakribarti
Months after severing ties with WWE, Hall of Famer Mick Foley made an appearance for OVW on Thursday.
Previously announced to be in attendance on Thursday‘s OVW Rise for a special pre-show meet & greet and appearance, Foley later took his presence to another level.
During the main event of the OVW Rise show, fans saw Foley appear as the special guest referee for the Louisville street fight between Donovan Cecil and Jack Vaughn.
The final moments of the match also saw the return of Mr. Socko, which ultimately helped Cecil pick up the victory.
Foley, 60, has long retired from in-ring action, with his last wrestling appearance in the 2012 WWE Royal Rumble. Apart from his wrestling appearances, Foley is also a published author and has appeared in a few films.
