Former AEW World Champion MJF stayed fully in character when asked about the possibility of WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley appearing in AEW. The Long Island native didn’t hold back when addressing the speculation.
Reports suggest that Foley’s WWE Legends contract is set to expire next month. The Hardcore Legend has decided to let the deal lapse after taking issue with WWE’s relationship with President Donald Trump.
Speaking with SNY ahead of Double or Nothing, MJF was asked about recent reports that AEW has expressed interest in working with the WWE Hall of Famer. Rather than snubbing the rumors, MJF took the opportunity to insult Foley.
“I think Mick Foley is fat and he’s ugly,” MJF said. “I think he was the blueprint of what Darby Allin is now, which makes me hate him even more. That’s what I think of Mick Foley.”
MJF faces Darby Allin in the main event of Double or Nothing at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens this Sunday. The match is for Allin’s AEW World Championship, with MJF’s hair also on the line after he agreed to the stipulation to secure the rematch.
Meanwhile, Foley has made appearances for independent promotions including OVW and GCW. It’s possible he could appear in AEW before his WWE deal expires.
