AJ Francis Re-Signs With TNA – It was announced that AJ Francis, who was previously known as Top Dolla during his time in WWE, has officially re-signed with TNA.
According to a report from Skubie Mageza of ESPN, the new deal will keep Francis with the company through the remainder of 2026.
Mageza shared the news on social media while also revealing one of the key factors behind Francis’ decision to stay with the promotion.
“Former Maryland Terrapin, and NFL Defensive Lineman, A.J. Francis has re-signed with TNA for the remainder of 2026,” Mageza wrote. “He said a major reason behind his decision is the continued exposure and growth of the partnership between TNA & AMC.”
Before transitioning to professional wrestling, Francis had a career in football. He played collegiately at the University of Maryland before entering the NFL in 2013 with the Miami Dolphins. Francis would go on to spend time with several teams before his football career concluded in 2018.
Francis later moved into professional wrestling and became widely known as a member of the faction Hit Row during two separate runs in WWE.
He made his debut for TNA in 2024 and has since established himself as a heel character on the roster. During his time with the promotion, Francis also captured the TNA Digital Media Championship.
The contract announcement comes during a week in which TNA confirmed additional roster news, including that Steve Maclin has also re-signed with the company.
TNA’s next major event is TNA Sacrifice 2026, scheduled for March 27. At the event, Maclin is set to challenge Mike Santana for the TNA World Championship.
