> AEW star Darby Allin recently discussed Mick Foley and the potential for the former WWF Champion to make his in-ring return for All Elite Wrestling. Foley last took part in a match in 2012 as part of the Royal Rumble, while his last singles match took place back for TNA in 2010, when he faced Ric Flair in a Last Man Standing match.

> Speaking on the Mark Hoke Show, Allin said that if the 61-year-old feels he needs to make a return to the ring that he should be able to, referencing how Sting had a successful run in AEW when many people believed he was done:

> “It’s like Sting. If he feels that the final chapter is unwritten, there shouldn’t be anything stopping him. Everybody told Sting, ‘There is nothing else you can do in wrestling. You retired in 2014 with a neck injury. Why would you come back?’ There was something in his spirit, a question that he had to answer. If Mick Foley has that inside of him, by all means, do it,”

> On the latest episode of Marking Out with MVP & Dwayne Swayze, the wrestler talked about his wrestling future.

> “Let’s be real. I’m 52. I don’t want to sprint back and forth across the ring. I don’t want to get powerbombed and chokeslamed. I don’t want to do that. I don’t take booking for matches anymore. I’m not officially retired. But that’s coming. I’m thinking probably next year I will have my final match. I’m pretty confident. My final match is coming soon.”

> Later, he talked about not having the same explosiveness in the ring that he used to.

> “Physically, my ability to wrestle at a high level is deteriorating because of time. This is father time. I don’t have the explosiveness that I used to. Let me be real with you, I don’t have the desire.

> Ross is pushing to work AEW’s All In event on August 30 at London’s Wembley Stadium. He noted that his contract expires some time this month and would thus need some kind of new negotiation. However, he acknowledged the possibility that his broadcasting career has possibly already ended.

> “I hope that my ending, my career ending, is planned. And so I don’t just show up one Wednesday night on Dynamite and say, ‘Well, I got some news for you folks, I’m done.’ That might sound cool and edgy, but I would like to be able to know that I’m leaving,” he said. “I think that’s important for my psyche. And I don’t know, maybe I’m looking at it wrongly, but in any event, that’s where I’m thinking — just have a good, clean ending.”

> “I don’t want to be done, but if Tony Khan said, ‘You know, JR, thanks for the efforts and thanks for being here and all that stuff.’ Then I’d have no problem with that. Because what else? How could I be such a greedy bastard and want more in my career than I’ve already received?”

> Janela said he’s not, then went on to share that current AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champion Megan Bayne told him that most of the time he does look like a crackhead.

> “Let’s get some facts out there. No one’s gonna care. But, people send me these fcking Reddit threads whenever I get in drama… Every other person says I’m some kind of methhead, some kind of crackhead. That I smoke meth, that I smoke crack. I was never a drugs guy. Let’s get that out there right now. Megan (Bayne) said it best. She said, ‘Well, sometimes, Joey, you look like — actually, not sometimes, most of the time, in all your fcking Instagram pictures, you look like a f*cking crackhead. This is why people call you a crackhead because you make these crackhead faces.’” Janela continued, “Let’s get it out there right now, I do not smoke crack. I’ve never smoked crack. I’m sure it’s a wonderful feeling the first couple times you hit that crack pipe…”

> White and Juice Robinson battled The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay) in a Double Chain Match.

> Jay White had an injury scare during the brutal match when he was dropped on his head by Finlay. The Dogs ultimately emerged victorious in that match.

> Earlier today, Mike Johnson of PWInsider reported that Jay White is indeed “banged up” coming out of Redemption. However, Johnson noted that AEW sources don’t indicate that he will be out for an extended period.

> The tantrum was caused by AEW deciding not to use the tribute video he created. Jacques told AEW he would take care of the video but it was too long, included footage and music that AEW didn't have the rights to, and used Al.

> By the time AEW saw the video it was the day of the show and they didn't have time to make a new one.
