AJ Francis says people would be shocked if he appeared at WWE Royal Rumble, but he doesn’t think he would get a big pop.
Speaking on Gabby AF, Francis told Gabby LaSpisa that he believes he wouldn’t get much of a “pop” from the crowd if he appeared at a Royal Rumble. He was responding to LaSpisa’s comment about Matt Cardona’s comments about how the roof would blow off the building if he appeared at WWE Royal Rumble.
“Absolutely, there would [be a pop], but mine is different,” Francis said. “Matt is someone who has been doing it for so long that even if he wasn’t popping on the indies right now, let’s say he wasn’t the biggest name in the indies right now, let’s just say he completely stopped wrestling after he left WWE, if his music played, he would still get a big-ass pop.
“Maybe the Hit Row thing would get a big pop, but I think if I came back in the Rumble, people would be shocked, and it would reverberate everywhere online. But pop, I don’t think so. The reason I don’t think so is because people don’t like me. People don’t like me.”
Francis had two stints as Top Dolla of Hit Row in WWE. The company released him in September 2023. He has since been featured in TNA.
