Darby Allin, who is set to square off against Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) in a hair vs. title match for the AEW Championship, reacted to the announcement that Foley was making an appearance in AEW in an interview with Fox News 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 performer, every night doing something – that was definitely inspiring. And it spoke to me because it’s everything I love. So, to have him around Sunday, it’ll be awesome.
