Tony Khan opens up about having Mick Foley in AEW.
After leaving WWE over the promotion’s relationship with US President Donald Trump, Mick Foley made his AEW debut at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view in May 2026. The company’s president, Tony Khan, spoke about what the Hardcore Legend adds to the roster during his recent appearance on the Battleground Podcast.
Tony Khan noted that Mick Foley brings a lot of experience and positivity to the promotion. He also stated that the WWE Hall of Famer will be a more regular presence on AEW television in the coming days, though not on an every-week basis.
“I think that Mick Foley has come into AEW; he adds a lot of experience. He also brings a lot of positivity, and he’s having a great time. We’ve really enjoyed having Mick so far at AEW at Double or Nothing and at Beach Break. Fittingly, these are two of the best nights in the history of the company,” Tony Khan began.
“So, he picked two great nights to make his debut on pay-per-view with AEW at Double or Nothing and on TV with AEW at Beach Break. So, when Mick is in the house, you know good things are going to happen, and Mick’s going to be a more regular presence in the show, I think,” Khan continued.
“Not necessarily every single week, but I’m excited to have Mick come in more and more. He seems to really enjoy it, and we love having him here, and the wrestlers can benefit from his experience, his ideas. He’s coming in with a fresh pair of eyes, which is always good to get the perspective of somebody that hasn’t been backstage hearing the same ideas and hear some fresh thoughts.” Khan went on.
Tony Khan emphasizes Mick Foley’s unique experience
“Also, in the case of Mick, his experience is very unique because the things Mick has accomplished in the sport of wrestling are very different. He’s got a career path and a list of accomplishments that are very, very different than many other people. He’s an accomplished writer. He’s a brilliant man outside of the ring, but also such a great wrestler and a hard hitter, but somebody also that was willing to take big risks, and certainly it has taken a big toll on his body,” Tony Khan continued.
“But I’m very glad that Mick is still getting around very well and in good shape. He looks great, and we love having Mick here in All Elite Wrestling,” Khan concluded.
