The talent exchange between WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling has already resulted in a few great moments, with Jordynne Grace challenging Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship at NXT Battleground 2024, Tatum Paxley attempting to win the TNA Knockouts World Championship at Against All Odds, and most recently, Joe Hendry and Frankie Kazarian competing in the 25-man battle royal for a shot at Trick Williams and the NXT Championship.
There’s no telling what’s next in store for this partnership, or when it is going to end, but until it stops, there’s ground for speculation all across the board.
TNA star AJ Francis knows this, and he’s put his name in the hat for an appearance with a quick tweet in response to something Oba Femi said on last night’s episode of WWE NXT.
For those who missed it, the North American champion cut a promo about how nobody is able to stand up to him, and he keeps decimating all his opponents. He posed a challenge that nobody is going to take the title away from him, which was answered by Wes Lee.
The Kardiak Kid was able to convince Femi to give him another shot at the title (even if it means if he loses, he won’t get another opportunity as long as Femi is champion), but the current TNA Digital Media champion AJ Francis (formerly Top Dolla in WWE) has decided he’d like to get a chance, too:

Top Dolla wasn’t able to amount to much success in WWE NXT, nor on the main roster. As part of Hit Row, he is most known for botching a jump over the top rope and being made fun of on a regular basis by Michael Cole. Suffice it to say, it’s highly doubtful he’d pose any real risk to Femi’s championship run.
However, once someone is a crossover “special treat” type of talent from another company, there’s always a chance they’re booked better. Maybe he’d at least put up a good fight.
