AJ Francis believes he and Rich Swann could step right back into NXT or WWE from TNA if the right opportunity presents itself.
TNA Digital Media Champion AJ Francis was a recent guest on The Angle Podcast. When asked about taking part in the ongoing “NXTNA” crossover, Francis said he’d love to do it with his First Cla$$ tag team partner, former WWE Superstar Rich Swann.
“If anybody’s going to walk through that, quote-unquote forbidden door, from NXT and TNA, to WWE and TNA, if anybody’s going to do it, it’s gotta be me and [Rich Swann]. [Swann] is not only a TNA World Champion, former, but he was a Cruiserweight Champion in WWE,” AJ Francis said. “I am the current TNA Digital Media Champion and the fact that I was [at WWE] twice and never got an opportunity to actually show what I can do, and now I am.
“I’m everywhere, and I’m in your face with it, there’s no way to deny my greatness anymore. So you have us come back, and yeah, I mean, we can go with The Pride, Street Profits. We got a lot of mutual friendship there, as well as Cedric and Ashante, they’re a great tag team as well.
Hit Row’s WWE status
“It is funny to me that I got released for B-Fab, and Ashante to be in the exact same role that they were in almost a year ago when I got released, but that’s neither here nor there. I have no problem, me and [Swann] coming into WWE, beating the Street Profits, beating Ashante and Cedric, establishing TNA dominance.
“I have no problem with that, if the writers want to put that on the script, I’ll accept my role. But I’m not worried about going back to WWE right now, because I’m doing such a good job in TNA, and it’s not like they don’t have my number. And they had my number both times they released me, so if they want me back, I have the same number.”
