Mick Foley ‘extremely happy’ to be making AEW debut

Posted: May 21st 2026 By: Joseph Currier

“FOLEY IS ALL ELITE!,” the Hardcore Legend wrote on Facebook and Instagram.

“I am extremely happy to be making my debut with @aew – joining @reneepaquette on the #DoubleOrNothing pre-show. Looking forward to seeing @tonyrkhan for the first time in many years (we had lunch fifteen years ago) and meeting up with AEW’s amazing roster.”

There has been no confirmation as to whether this is a one-off appearance or if Foley is signing a contract with AEW. When revealing the news, Khan referred to Sunday as being Foley’s “first night” in the promotion. The 60-year-old Foley is still under a WWE Legends contract until next month.

AEW Double or Nothing 2026 Buy In —

The Buy In portion of Sunday’s event begins at 7 p.m. Eastern time and will air for free on AEW’s social media channels, in addition to platforms that are carrying the pay-per-view. No matches have been announced for The Buy In yet, but that will likely change on Dynamite/Collision tonight.

Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York is hosting Double or Nothing. The card is headlined by a hair vs. title match with MJF challenging AEW World Champion Darby Allin. It remains to be seen if Foley will appear during the main card, but MJF hasn’t been shy about playing up issues with him.
