Darby Allin, who is set to fight Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) in a hair-against title match for the AEW Championship, responded to the announcement of Foley appearing in AEW in an interview with Pakinomist Digital.
“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,” Allin said. “But him being like this, Evel Knievel, stuntman, doing something every night – it was definitely inspiring. And it spoke to me because that’s everything I love. So to have him around on Sunday, that’s going to be amazing.
