Mick Foley Set To Make AEW Debut, Will Co-Host Double or Nothing Buy In Pre-Show With Renee Paquette

Just announced by AEW boss Tony Khan, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley will be a part of this weekend’s AEW Double or Nothing 2026 event. Per Khan, Foley will be co-hosting the Buy In pre-show before the event alongside Renee Paquette

Tony Khan wrote on Mick Foley making his AEW debut, “Before #AEWDoN, watch The Buy In FREE before the ppv THIS SUNDAY! Your new co-hosts are @ReneePaquette & Mick Foley! Foley’s coming back to TBS, where he ran wild as Cactus Jack! Don’t miss his first night in AEW on Sunday + see you for Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite TONIGHT!”

The Buy In pre-show will stream live and free on HBO Max, Prime Video, YouTube, Facebook, and X before the main pay-per-view card. The Buy In pre-show begins at 7:00 pm ET, followed by the main card at 8:00 pm ET.

It was reported last week by The Takedown on Sports Illustrated that AEW was interested in working with Foley once his WWE Legends contract expires. It’s currently unknown if Foley’s appearance will be part of a new long-term relationship with AEW or a one-off.

This weekend’s Double or Nothing event is being held not far from where Foley grew up in Long Island, New York. The event takes place on Sunday, May 24 at the Louis Armstrong Stadium. It will be broadcast live on pay-per-view.
