Top Dolla Reveals WWE SmackDown Botched Spot Saved His Life
AJ Francis, formerly known as Top Dolla in WWE, recently shared some interesting details about his memorable dive on an episode of SmackDown last year.
He joined WWE in 2020 and later became a part of the Hit Row group in NXT in May. The group was then moved to SmackDown in October 2021.
In November 2021, Francis, along with Ashante “Thee” Adonis, Isaiah “Swerve” Scott, and B-Fab, were released by the company. However, WWE brought back Francis, Adonis, and B-Fab in August for another stint on SmackDown. While Francis was released in September, Adonis and B-Fab are still signed with WWE.
Taking to Twitter, Francis reflected on the one-year anniversary of the dive incident and revealed that he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes afterwards.
The botch saved my life. I made that dive a dozen times before, legs felt off but I didn’t think about it. After I failed I went to the doc & found out I had Type II diabetes & my blood sugar was 626.
I almost lost my life & was about to lose both feet. The botch saved my life. https://t.co/NV1zxspjr2
