At the end of the interview, the two told Foley to bow down \u2014 and he responded by barking like a dog. It was an awkward moment that felt like it went on too long, though it wasn\u2019t clear if something went wrong or if the attempt at comedy just didn\u2019t land as it was intended.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a lot of discussion about the segment from fans online, Foley shared a clip on Instagram and claimed the moment was a misunderstanding where he misheard what Divine Dominion said: \u201cA SLIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING! DivineDominion told me to Bow DOWN, not BOW WOW! My bad @themeganbayne @lena_kross \u2013 my new favorite tag team! @aew\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The segment did serve the purpose of building up The Brawling Birds (Alex Windsor &amp; Jamie Hayter) as future challengers for Bayne &amp; Kross, with Foley mentioning that the champions have yet to defeat Windsor &amp; Hayter.<\/p>\n<p>Mick Foley congratulates Willow Nightingale \u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foley <a href=\"https:\/\/www.f4wonline.com\/news\/aew\/tony-khan-expects-mick-foley-to-be-a-more-regular-presence-in-aew-going-forward\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">is expected to be a more regular presence<\/a> in AEW going forward, even if he won\u2019t be around every single week. The 61-year-old wrestling legend was in Montreal for Redemption and worked the show in a broadcasting capacity. He also made a social media post after the event congratulating Willow Nightingale on winning the AEW Women\u2019s World Championship from Thekla.<\/p>\n<p>    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.f4wonline.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"preferred-source-link\"><br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Google-CTA.jpg\" alt=\"Google Icon\" class=\"google-icon\"\/><br \/>\n    <\/a><\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.f4wonline.com\/author\/josephcurrier\/\" title=\"Joseph Currier\" class=\"gms-profile-image\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1785196991_542_ce93ae5ee9bc08cbe7fe7e71f9c926474fc7a0d1080edc56a17530857f23117e.png\" width=\"90\" height=\"90\" alt=\"Joseph Currier\"\/><\/p>\n<p>        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                Joseph Currier<\/p>\n<p>Joseph Currier is the lead editor of F4WOnline.com, directing daily news coverage and writing articles on professional wrestling.
