Francis recently took to X (fka Twitter) to take a dig at the global wrestling juggernaut over his booking. The former TNA Digital Media Champion noted that if he were to job out to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania in 3 minutes, it would still be his longest singles bout inside the WWE ring. The former Top Dolla added that he was grateful for TNA Wrestling for giving him a better opportunity.

“If I jobbed to Brock Lesnar in 3 minutes at WrestleMania it would be the longest singles match of my WWE Career by 30 seconds… That’s why I’m grateful for @ThisIsTNA,” Francis wrote.

You can check out his tweet below:

AJ Francis wrestled only two singles matches on the main roster, both during his second run with the company. He competed against LA Knight and Ricochet on Friday Night SmackDown in 2023, with a gap of about 7 months between the two bouts. Unfortunately, he lost both matches in a little over two minutes.

AJ Francis previously recalled his singles match against former WWE Superstar

As mentioned above, one of the two singles matches he wrestled on SmackDown was against Ricochet. The two competed for a spot in the 2023 Men’s Royal Rumble Match.

Responding to a tweet claiming the Stamford-based wrestling promotion “dropped the ball” on Ricochet, Francis posted a picture from his match against the high-flying star. He pointed out that Ricochet defeated him in under three minutes.

“I remember when @KingRicochet beat me in #SmackDown in under 3 minutes. S/o my fellow Bald King 😂,” Francis wrote.

Only time will tell whether AJ Francis gets to wrestle a singles match as a WWE Superstar in the future.
