AJ Francis talks re-signing with TNA.
On December 31, Sports Illustrated put out a report announcing that AJ Francis had re-signed with TNA Wrestling. This news was met with praise by many TNA fans, as Francis has established himself as one of the promotion's top heels in recent months.
While chatting with the Nick Beasley Show for a new interview, Francis talked about re-signing with TNA, saying that it was always his goal to return to the company.
“I like it here. The goal was always to re-sign with TNA, we just had to come to terms. I always wanted to come back. I went from one year, nobody thinking I’ll ever wrestle anymore to one year later, main event, world title contender, matches with The Hardys, main event of a PLE. TNA gave me everything that I could ask for. So, why would I not want to come back? Like yeah, I would like to work at NXT still because they have the connection.”
Francis continued on and said that WWE knows where he is at if they want him to appear in NXT.
“I don’t know nothing about the deal, I just know that if they want to make it happen, they know where I’m at. It’s that easy.”
Then, Francis continued to explain his choice to re-sign with the company, saying that TNA is giving him the opportunity to be a main event player.
“I’m being put in a spot and I’m being utilized and I’m being shown how good that I can be because TNA is giving me that opportunity. It’s tempting to go a lot of places, there’s a lot of places that wrestling, depending on what you’re trying to do — Like, who wouldn’t want to go to WWE right now, they about to be on Netflix. Right now I’m showing at TNA that I am a main eventer. I know if I went back to WWE right now, if I went to Raw or SmackDown right now, I’m not gonna be in the main event.”
