During the Double or Nothing pre-show media call, AEW President Tony Khan confirmed that Mick Foley could potentially return to the ring for AEW, but only if Foley himself feels fully prepared to handle the physical demands. The comments come after AEW announced that Foley will co-host this weekend’s Buy-In pre-show alongside Renee Paquette, sparking immediate speculation about a possible in-ring comeback.
“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.” – Tony Khan
Despite the excitement, Foley’s long-term health remains a major concern. The hardcore legend has a well-documented history of concussions, multiple hip and knee replacements, severe back issues, shoulder injuries, and chronic pain that at one point left him struggling to walk. While recent surgeries and significant weight loss have improved his mobility, the cumulative toll of broken bones and internal trauma continues to cast serious doubt on any return to the ring.
