Mick Foley’s Bark Misunderstanding Fuels Backlash at AEW Redemption

At the AEW Redemption pay‑per‑view in Montreal, wrestling legend Mick Foley appeared in a backstage interview with the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions Megan Bayne and Lena Kross, known as Divine Dominion. The duo told Foley to “bow down,” which he misinterpreted and responded by barking like a dog.

Fans quickly criticized the segment as disrespectful to Foley’s career, posting comments such as “Foley, what the hell are you doing? You’re making a fool of yourself” and calling the bit a “complete failure.” The clip spread widely on social media.

Foley later posted on Instagram, saying the moment was “a slight misunderstanding” and that he had heard “bow down” as “bow wow.” He apologized to Bayne and Kross, noting the segment was meant to build future challengers for the tag‑team titles and that he may appear more regularly on AEW programming.
