Darby Allin Is Up For Teaming With Mick Foley, But Won’t Wrestle Him

Darby Allin has no intent on wrestling Mick Foley in AEW, though he would be willing to team with the newly arrived Hardcore Legend. Foley signed with AEW before AEW Double Or Nothing in May, and since then he has discussed the possibility of another match. Foley has not definitively said he plans to wrestle but has named Allin as a dream opponent of his.

Allin pushed back on the notion of a match with Foley in an interview with The Takedown On SI. The former AEW World Champion said that if Foley wants to, he would be willing to team with him the way he teamed with Sting. You can see the highlights below:

On Not Wanting to Wrestle Foley:

“I would never wrestle Mick. I would never wrestle against Mick. Would I team with him? Absolutely. I would team with him in a heartbeat. Just like I would never wrestle Sting. I would love to team with him. But that’s the thing for Mick to answer. What does he feel in his career that, if he would even need that, if there’s any questions unanswered?

“I know for Sting, all those years ago, there were many questions unanswered about how his career ended and how it wasn’t on his own terms. Does Mick still have those questions as Sting did? That remains to be seen

On Teaming With Foley:

“I don’t feel like I’d get out of it what we want [as opponents], I feel like there’s a lot more meat on the bone with me teaming with him. I just don’t think I’d get out of it what I would think I would,” he said. I wouldn’t want to go out there and have that with somebody like Mick that a lot of people are saying he doesn’t need to be in the ring. If he’s gonna be in the ring, I wanna do everything to help him, like, by his side. It’s just not something that interests me.”
