AJ Francis has signed a new deal with TNA Wrestling which will keep him part of the roster for the foreseeable future.

The news was revealed by the former Hit Row member himself in a story with Sports Illustrated.

Saying that there were other offers on the table, Francis said that TNA just felt the best place for him right now and the company always took good care of him.

“TNA has always since the day that I got there changed people’s perception of me. My last match in TNA was for the TNA World Title, an absolute banger of a match in the main event of Final Resolution against Nic Nemeth,” he said.

He noted that a year ago, he wasn’t the most sought-after free agent and people thought he wasn’t going to wrestle anymore and his career was over.

“A year ago, TNA took me in for their very first show, Hard To Kill in (Las) Vegas,” he continued. “That was the very first night that I interacted with Joe Hendry. One year later, Joe Hendry’s the biggest star in wrestling. He can still send me a box of cigars for that whenever he wants.”
