A TNA name has inked a contract.
Previously working per appearance, Fightful Select has confirmed that AJ Francis has signed a deal with TNA Wrestling to remain with the company through the 2024 year. Francis was brought into the company by Tommy Dreamer and made a good impression, subsequently feuding with Joe Hendry and teaming with Rich Swann.
In addition to working in TNA, Francis worked a GCW date against Joey Janela in January, and won a quick match in MLW in February against Mr. Thomas. He was backstage at a recent WWE Raw and was at the WrestleMania XL Kickoff event in Las Vegas, and maintains a good relationship with WWE and Triple H.
We're told Francis can continue working with NWA, MLW and is able to work with NJPW. However, the deal prohibits WWE and AEW.
