AJ Francis (formerly Top Dolla) made his TNA debut at Friday’s Hard To Kill 2024 pay-per-view event in Las Vegas, NV.
Francis appeared on the pre-show to present his new music video with DJ Whoo Kid.
Joe Hendry, who interrupted Francis, had his own video ready for the audience, showcasing the story of Francis’ career, washing out of the NFL followed by WWE.
This angered Francis, who then attacked and beat down Hendry with help from Whoo Kid.
