AJ Francis has re-signed with TNA Wrestling.
Sports Illustrated reports that Francis has re-signed with TNA Wrestling. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"TNA has taken care of me over the last year. A year ago, I wasn't the most sought after free agent. A year ago, people thought I wasn't going to wrestle anymore. A year ago, people thought that my wrestling career might be done. And a year ago, TNA took me in for their very first show, Hard To Kill in (Las) Vegas. That was the very first night that I interacted with Joe Hendry. One year later, Joe Hendry's the biggest star in wrestling. He can still send me a box of cigars for that whenever he wants," said Francis
He continued, "It's been a blessing with the fact that TNA has done so much for me in the last year. Obviously, this is a business. It's not called the wrestling friendship. It's called the wrestling business. I always wanted to go back to TNA. Even though over the past week, I've made it clear that I could go anywhere. There were feelers out for me potentially going over to AEW, maybe going back to NXT because I never really got a run in NXT, maybe go back to SmackDown. Obviously going to Netflix for Raw would have been cool too. But there was a lot of options out on the table for me. TNA just feels like the best place for me. TNA has always since the day that I got there changed people's perception of me. My last match in TNA was for the TNA World Title, an absolute banger of a match in the main event of Final Resolution against Nic Nemeth."
Francis joined TNA in January 2024, debuting at TNA Hard To Kill.
