Mick Foley is All Elite, Will he Wrestle?



All Elite Wrestling announced this week that Mick Foley is joining Renee Paquette for the Double or Nothing pre-show this Sunday. This will be Foley’s debut for the promotion. A debut that many have been speculating on since he cut ties with WWE back in December over their affiliation with United States President Donald Trump. 


Double or Nothing takes place from Queens, New York which is Mick Foley territory. Foley grew up in Long Island, which is less than an hour away from Queens. 


The question on everyone’s minds right now, is if Foley will wrestler a match or not. A couple of years ago, Foley expressed interest in having a final match but called it off for medical reasons. That was in 2024, and we’ve seen medical assessments change as time goes on. Look at Bryan Danielson returning to WWE. Now Danielson was a lot younger than Foley is now, but you can never say never in wrestling. 





Who would you want to see Mick Foley face? A tag team match makes the most sense, Ala Sting’s AEW run. There’s several names that the honour should be bestowed upon. World Champion Darby Allin instantly comes to mind, so does his opponent at Double or Nothing MJF. MJF was interviewed by Jon Alba for The Takedown on SI and called Mick Foley “fat and ugly” ahead of Foley being announced for the PPV pre-show. 





There were rumours years ago that Jon Moxley as Dean Ambrose was going to face Mick Foley in 2012. He even called out Foley in a hotel lobby and Foley revealed on his stand-up comedy tour that they were supposed to have a match but Foley couldn’t be cleared. That would have been a massive boost for Moxley at the time but may have changed wrestling history. Would he have joined The Shield? Foley said they were supposed to wrestle at Summerslam, months before Survivor Series. There’s definitely an angle to play up here, if they go this route. 


The ultimate hurdle in Mick Foley wrestling again is getting medically cleared. Foley wanted to come back two years ago, I’m sure if he’s healthy enough for one final match, he’ll do it. I’ll throw this out, a tag team match obviously. Mick Foley and Darby Allin vs Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay. I think that would be a killer match and these are three guys that can work with Foley to deliver the best match.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

     Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving  WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years.       How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

  John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair.  Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody.  If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...

Bobby Lashley Issues Warning to Jon Moxley

Bobby Lashley debuted in All Elite Wrestling on October 30th last year, rejoining his former WWE stablemates MVP and Shelton Benjamin, forming The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate are one of the hottest acts in AEW right now with Lashley and Benjamin winning the World Tag Team Titles last month. It’s inevitable that Bobby Lashley will get a World Championship shot at some point. He’s very over right now and a legit main event talent.  Lashley gave a warning to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley when speaking to the Sporting Tribune . Lashley said it’s only a matter of time till they face off but he’s focused on his tag team right now. Lashley said that when Jon Moxley sees him in the locker room, he stays clear of him.  Despite being cheered like a babyface, Bobby Lashley is a heel and Jon Moxley is also a heel so I don’t see them facing off soon. But I like the idea of a Moxley/Lashley match whether it’s for the Title or not. Saying that, I’d also be a fan of Bo...
