Mick Foley might be done stepping into the ring, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t thinking about potential dream matches—and one of those involves Rhea Ripley.
Speaking with Monopoly Events’ Jamal Niaz, the WWE Hall of Famer was asked which current stars he could see himself having a hardcore match with. While names like Darby Allin, Jon Moxley, and Kevin Owens made the list, Foley threw in a wild card—suggesting that even at 59 years old, he and Ripley could do business on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
“Not just a hardcore deathmatch, but I could have torn it down with Darby Allin in a regular match. When it comes to the wild stuff, Jon Moxley and I could have torn it down. Kevin Owens and I, a hardcore rules—not necessarily a death match, but just something really physical. No shortage of people. I still think a 59-year-old Mick Foley and Rhea Ripley would draw at WrestleMania. Or maybe I come on Mami’s behalf and seek vengeance on Dirty Dom. That could work.”
Foley has been a vocal supporter of Ripley, previously calling her “the real tribal leader in WWE.” Given her dominance in the women’s division and her ability to mix it up with male talent, Foley stepping in to help “Mami” deal with Dominik Mysterio isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds.
While Foley’s in-ring days may be behind him, his creative mind for the business remains sharp. Could we ever see him step up for Ripley in a WrestleMania moment?
