Released 6ft 5in WWE Star Drops Big Hint About Moving To AEW After Visiting Backstage At Worlds End


The former WWE star hinted at joining AEW after appearing in another major promotion. The star was also backstage at the recent Worlds End 2024 pay-per-view event.

The 6ft 5in star in question is currently a TNA star, AJ Franjo (fka Top Dolla) who was released from WWE in September 2023 after a brief three-year run in the promotion. Francis was known for being part of the Hit Row faction of the Stamford promotion. He has been performing at TNA since the beginning of 2024.

AJ Francis also challenged Nic Nemeth for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at the recent Final Resolution 2024 event. Franjo was backstage at AEW Worlds End 2024 and allegedly met some of his friends in the locker room.

Meanwhile, AJ Francis hinted at leaving TNA and joining All Elite Wrestling. Francis recently posted a video on X talking about his future and teasing joining Tony Khan’s promotion or even returning to NXT:

AEW’s top star just called one of his colleagues ‘spoiled’ and ‘narcissistic’ HERE.

“Am I going to stay in TNA and be a top class executive, TN-AJ Francis? Am I going to go to AEW and turn it into AJ-EW? Am I going to go back to NXT and face Oba Femi or do I go back to the main roster on Smackdown and get the run I definitely deserve?” said Francis. [H/T Inside The Ropes]
