Darby Allin, who is set to face Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) in a hair vs. title match for the AEW Championship, reacted to the news of Foley’s AEW appearance in an interview with PK Press Club 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 that, Evel Knievel, stuntman, doing something every night – it was really inspiring. And it spoke to me because that’s everything I love. So to have him there on Sunday, it’ll be awesome.
