TNA Wrestling star AJ Francis (fka Top Dolla) has revealed that he’s still in contact with a notable WWE name.

With Francis leaving WWE in September 2023, the former Hit Row member has since established himself as a talent on the TNA Wrestling roster.

Speaking with Compas On The Beat, Francis noted that Paul Heyman is the WWE management name he still talks to the most.

Commenting on his relationship with Roman Reigns’ Special Counsel, Francis said:

“Paul’s the best. Of all the people that are still in WWE, (the one) I talk to the most is Paul Heyman as far as management goes. Paul has always been one of my biggest backers and biggest believers. Paul is the best promo of all time, I will stand on that, I dare you to challenge that.

“I’m very grateful for the tutelage I’ve been able to get from him and the fact that he actually listens to the things I send him and watches the videos I send him. There’s a lot of people in this business that’ll say, ‘Yeah, send me something and I’ll get back to you’, but they don’t, because they don’t really give a fuck to be honest with you, they only care about themselves.

“They don’t care about the wrestling business, they don’t care about growing young talent. Paul Heyman is not like that. Paul Heyman, if he believes in you, he’s going to give everything he has to you and I am forever grateful to him for that.”
