Darby Allin Says ‘It’ll Be Awesome’ To Have Mick Foley At AEW Double Or Nothing

Darby Allin is a big fan of AEW bringing in Mick Foley this weekend.

Earlier this week, All Elite Wrestling announced that Mick Foley will be making his first appearance for the promotion as he joins Renee Paquette on the AEW Double or Nothing Buy In on Sunday, May 24.

Speaking to Fox News Digital ahead of AEW Double or Nothing, Darby Allin spoke about Mick Foley making an appearance and noted that he’s someone he has looked up to throughout his professional wrestling fandom.

“He was one of my guys growing up because he was one of those guys, you flip through the TV and you’re like, ‘wait.’ Growing up, I don’t feel like I could relate to a lot of wrestlers, but him, being like this, Evel Knievel, stuntman performer, every night doing something – that was definitely inspiring, and it spoke to me because it’s everything I love. So, to have him around Sunday, it’ll be awesome. He’s definitely somebody I’ve looked up to.”

Darby Allin is set to defend the AEW World Championship against former champion MJF in the main event of AEW Double or Nothing, with MJF wagering his hair in order to earn a shot at the man who shockingly took the title from him last month.

During the AEW Double or Nothing media call, Tony Khan revealed that Mick Foley was thrilled to get involved with All Elite Wrestling this weekend, and that he would love for him to wrestle in AEW in the future, but only if Foley felt comfortable doing so.
