The rumor going into Monday Night Raw tonight is that Mick Foley will be returning to take part in an angle that will culminate at Wrestlemania in a few weeks.
We’ll know in a few hours if that rumor is accurate or not, but Foley may have already confirmed it himself during a recent interview with Sporting News.
You can read the full interview right here. Below are the highlights of Foley’s involvement with WWE programming:
Are you going to be at WrestleMania either as an observer as a part of the show?
“I’ll definitely be at the show. I hear rumors that I’ll be part of the show. Not to lower anybody’s expectations but technically the only year I wasn’t part of the show was in 2011. I’ve been back for three Manias and last year I accompanied our winners to the show. In 2012 I did a thing with Santino and the guys with Deadliest Catch. In 2013, I was inducted into the Hall of Fame, which is a pretty big deal to go out there and receive the acknowledgements from all those people. In ’14 I was part of the announce team, the pre- and post- announce team. I guess I’m playing a little role. I’m not exactly sure what it is, though.
Do you see yourself being more active with the WWE?
“Yeah, I’ve got just a few shows left with Indianapolis my final one on Sunday night. I’m going to take at least the rest of 2016 off and then we’ll play it by ear. I’m not doing that with the intention of doing more with WWE but it would be convenient if something opened up that we both were excited about doing. I have expressed interest in maybe playing a small role in creative for the women’s division. I think they could use a seasoned veteran with a pretty good world view and a passion for what the women are doing. And I think the women would welcome it.”
