Fans might remember Top Dolla trying a dive over the top rope on the December 16, 2022 episode of WWE SmackDown and failing, getting caught up and flipping over the top, nearly landing on his head.
Top Dolla (AJ Francis) became the butt of many jokes on WWE TV, mostly from Michael Cole.
Taking to social media on the one year anniversary of the move, Francis explained how the botch actually saved his life.
"The botch saved my life. I made that dive a dozen times before, legs felt off but I didn’t think about it. After I failed I went to the doc & found out I had Type II diabetes & my blood sugar was 626.
I almost lost my life & was about to lose both feet. The botch saved my life."
