AJ Francis is grateful for Tommy Dreamer.
Since coming to TNA in the early days of 2024, AJ Francis has continued to establish himself as one of the promotion's top stars, picking up singles wins over stars like Rhino, Joe Hendry, and Sami Callihan.
According to Francis, Tommy Dreamer is to thank for his success in TNA. While speaking with Fightful during WrestleCade weekend, Francis praised Dreamer for not letting others influence his decision.
"Yeah, man. They gave me an opportunity. Shout out Tommy Dreamer. Tommy Dreamer knew the level of star that I was and he didn't let people who don't know a damn thing influence his decision. He's given me endless opportunities."
Francis went on to brag about making Hendry a household name after their feud in TNA.
"Tommy was the one that put me together with Joe and then you saw how I made Joe Hendry a star. I mean, Joe Hendry is a household name. You're welcome. Joe, you're welcome. I'm still waiting on my residuals from those songs. I see you singing songs about me on tour in Europe.
Francis went on to tease possibly working together with Hendry in the future.
"You may eventually. Maybe one day down the road, you get to see AJ Francis and Joe Hendry do the Vince McMahon and Stone Cold Steve Austin WrestleMania handshake."
