WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has recently parted ways with the company, which has opened up opportunities for him to pursue projects outside of WWE. In a recent edition of Fightful Select Answers, Sean Ross Sapp discussed the possibility of Foley working with AEW.
According to Sapp, Foley is highly respected among the AEW locker room. He mentioned that MJF had previously expressed interest in working with Foley long before the current speculation became public. When asked if AEW President Tony Khan and the company might reach out to Foley, Sapp confidently stated that in most circumstances, the answer would “absolutely” be yes, citing the genuine admiration Foley receives from talent.
Sapp also pointed out that AEW’s current business plans involve reassessing merchandising and licensing, indicating that the future of their action figure line and video game projects hasn’t been fully established. These projects could influence whether Foley’s involvement makes sense as part of a larger rollout rather than just a standalone appearance. Despite this, Sapp believes it’s plausible that Foley will eventually appear in AEW, depending on the circumstances surrounding Foley’s Legends Deal.
At this stage, fan speculation is the most prominent part of the discussion. However, with Foley’s availability and the ongoing interest from key individuals in AEW, the possibility remains alive as we head into 2026. If the stars align and schedules permit, AEW could become the next platform for the WWE Hall of Famer.
