Mick Foley officially made his AEW debut at Double or Nothing 2026, appearing on the pre-show panel alongside Renee Paquette.<\/p>\n

Along with sharing his thoughts throughout the published, Foley also got physically involved in the course of the closing moments of the pre-show, participating in an in-ring segment with MJF.<\/p>\n

Speaking in a while his YouTube channel, Foley reflected on making his first appearance for AEW and discussed his experience on the event. He said,<\/p>\n

\u201cThere may be nothing fallacious with getting a nostalgia pop. I\u2019ve received loads of those and so they feel good, however the response I received in Latest York was different. It was a response of, \u2018We\u2019re glad you\u2019re here,\u2019 and that I could still make a difference. By no means am I here to throw stones at WWE. I like the corporate, all the time will. I’ll all the time be deeply appreciative of each opportunity they afforded me, but there’s something unique about seeing the owner of the corporate just so obviously completely happy and excited.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMr. McMahon had a special way of doing things, however it wasn\u2019t with that sort of joy. It looks as if, to me, the AEW wrestlers are on the market and so they are playing to win since it is known that failure it a part of the method. I\u2019ve seen so many individuals through the years, almost petrified to walk through the curtain because they didn\u2019t know in the event that they\u2019d get the thumbs up or thumbs down. Tony is happy and loves what he\u2019s doing. He\u2019s completely happy to be there. That sort of enthusiasm makes me feel enthusiastic. After I did my in-ring promo, a few wrestlers said, \u2018I assume you\u2019ll be taking off now.\u2019 What am I going to do, watch Friends reruns in my hotel room? It was an incredible show.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe energy backstage jogs my memory of the best way WWE felt in the course of the Attitude Era where we were all actively pulling for one another, but we also understood that striking out was a part of the strategy of hitting monumental home runs. I\u2019m really glad to be in a spot where wrestlers are encouraged to swing for the fences, and it\u2019s understood that not every hit will leave the park. I\u2019m enthusiastic about where this adventure goes to take me. I consider myself a Swiss Army Knife, and I might be utilized in quite a lot of alternative ways. I\u2019m excited in regards to the future and I\u2019m enthusiastic about wrestling in a way that I haven\u2019t been in just a few years. I would like to thank the AEW fans and product for helping me fall in love with skilled wrestling all yet again.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
