AJ Francis is now part of the thriving TNA roster and the man formerly known as Top Dolla during his WWE run is setting his targets high.
A former NFL star who held positions in a number of leading squads, Francis made the decision to swap football for wrestling in 2020 when he enrolled in WWE’s Performance Centre.
As part of a faction that included the now fully established Swerve Strickland. Francis’s opportunities in his first WWE run were restricted before he was released in 2021.
He would eventually return to the company but after being let go for a second time, he has now made TNA his home after debuting earlier this year at Hard to Kill.
With TNA earning widespread acclaim in recent months, Francis won’t have to look far if he wants to compete in meaningful matches, but who is he eager to share the ring with?
“PCO because I know how my character is and how his character is, and I know we can do some really cool things,” said Francis when speaking to DAZN.
“Moose. Me and Moose go way back, and we were friends in the NFL. I’m not just saying that because he’s TNA world champ, but I do want to be world champ.
“Nick Nemeth. We’ve never crossed paths or locked horns. People love him and they hate me, so that would be a good story to tell.”
