Terry Funk was invited to participate in AEW Double or Nothing 2021.
The main event featured the Stadium Stampede match between The Inner Circle (Chris Jericho, Jake Hager, Sammy Guevara, Santana, and Ortiz) and The Pinnacle (Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood, MJF, Shawn Spears, and Wardlow). Dax Harwood recently elaborated on this during the recent episode of his FTR with Dax and Matt Koon podcast.
We were supposed to film a scene where Cash and I were walking in the bar with Tully (Blanchard), we had just ran away from Ortiz and Santana, we were walking in the bar. Sitting at the bar was someone by himself, with his back to us, and we got the ‘okay’ from Tony (Khan) to do this, we just had to get up with him. We walk up to the bar, we sit down at the bar, and the guy at the bar was going to be Terry Funk.
He was supposed to say a line from ‘Roadhouse,’ I can’t remember what it was. He was supposed to say a line, and we were going to take a drink with him, then in comes Santana and Ortiz, then we go into the brawl and we see Konnan. We see Konnan, we flip the table over to start the brawl, and when we flip the table over, it was supposed to hit the first few seconds of DMX ‘Party Up’ and that starts the big brawl. That got ixnayed, I don’t know why.”

The match was ultimately won by The Inner Circle in the bout against The Pinnacle. However, Terry Funk’s involvement in the match could have been interesting to watch if it had happened.
