But he got it early during his first appearance on AEW programming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">That also meant that Foley was there to do more than just gab about the card with Renee. Mick got in the ring at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York to explain why he signed, saying AEW helped him fall in love with pro wresling again. He considers Tony Khan a friend, and he\u2019s excited to be a part of the family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Now fully in the fold, Mrs. Foley\u2019s baby boy got busy turning up the heat on an already hot feud \u2014 tonight\u2019s main event between World champ Darby Allin and MJF. Mick was talking about that hair vs. title affair when the challenger interupted. Long Island\u2019s not big enough for both of these two, and when Foley got under Max\u2019s skin, Max hit Foley low. Kind of gently, but low.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The champ ran in to make the save, and that meant sharing a moment with a kindred spirit before his big night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Let us know what you thought of Foley\u2019s first night as an AEW talent in the comments belog, along with if you\u2019re looking forward to more of him in\u2026 whatever this role is.
