Former Terp, Patriot, And Redskin AJ Francis Has Now Taken His Talents To The WWE

This is awesome. I’ve known AJ for a bit and even when he was in the league (wearing number 69 because “I’m big and nasty”) his eyes were always set on being a WWE wrestler. He is a smart dude and he knew his NFL career wouldn’t last forever, so he began training while still in the NFL (go look at his IG story, he tells the entire tale, it’s great)

He then decided, shit, I’m going to go for it. So he went to wrestling school and basically just dedicated his life to becoming a WWE Superstar. He wrestled in the indies, where as you might recall this happened

and he just kept getting better

And then, the WWE came calling, and AJ answered.

I mean 2 years ago AJ hadn’t taken a bump, and then today he reported to the WWE Performance Center. Crazy.

Follow your dreams, kids.

Oh, and he’s a huge Caps fan and Maryland/DC guy.

Can’t wait to see him compete in that ring. LFG.
