Former WWE SmackDown Superstar Top Dolla (A.J. Francis) recently appeared on the "One on One with Jon Alba" podcast, where he revealed that he has had talks with certain people that makes him believe his WWE career is far from over and that he will eventually return to the company in the near future.
A.J. Francis said:
“Do I think I’m done with WWE forever? No, just from some personal conversations I’ve had with people, I don’t.” “Do I think that I need to focus on myself right now? Absolutely. To be honest with you, I’ve been focusing on myself my whole life, so that isn’t anything new.”
A.J. Francis also spoke about how he intends on continuing to pursue both a music and a pro wrestling career at the exact same time.
A.J. Francis said:
“The thing is, I never stopped having it be only one thing. I made music the entire time I was in WWE and I will continue to make music.”
“I was doing TV work while I was in WWE and I’m going to continue to do TV work. I think the blessing of all this is the fact that now I don’t have to limit myself to just wrestling. I am very capable of doing a wrestling role for anybody’s company that wants me. That’s not hard to do. I can do it 2 days a week or 10 days a week. It’s up to you.”
“What I can actually do is go out and get opportunities on television elsewhere. I’ve been in Super Bowl commercials. I made the Super Bowl song for the Chiefs. I’m ready to tackle all aspects of what’s coming next by being able to do things that I love that my schedule limited before.”
A.J. Francis also spoke about how much of the real him are people actually seeing in his character in pro wrestling.
A.J. Francis said:
“It’s just a character that I created, like they say turn it up to 11, the brash, braggadocios rapper, I’ve been that since I was 12 years old. That’s just me.”
“When we were doing The Row, before Hit Row on the indies and I was Suga Bear, it was a more vulgar version of the character because I was mimicking Suge Knight obviously. It was a way more vulgar version of the character, but I have been known to be vulgar.”
“Even in that aspect, everything you see from me, I don’t have to think about what my character is going to do. I don’t have to think about how my character reacts in certain situations. I just say, ‘You know what? This is what I would do’, and that’s what I do.”
A.J. Francis then spoke about how he wrote the Kansas City Chiefs' official Super Bowl song last year called “Run It Back.”
A.J. Francis said:
“Last year I did the official Super Bowl song for the Kansas City Chiefs. They’re still playing it this year. It’s still getting spins.”
“The song is called ‘Run It Back’. They lost last year, so they’re trying to run it back. The funny thing is, nobody in WWE ever mentioned it, not even considered mentioning it while I was there.”
