AJ Francis, formerly known as Top Dolla, explains how an infamous botch actually saved his life.
On the December 16, 2022, episode of WWE SmackDown, Top Dolla went for a dive over the ropes. But he failed to make it over the top rope as he intended, so the spot was widely criticized. Some critics have referred to it as “Flop Dolla”. One fan posted a clip of the dive on December 16 and noted that it was the first anniversary of the botch.
Francis responded and stated that the botch saved his life. He wrote that his legs felt off, but he had not thought much of it until he failed the dive. The former WWE star wrote that he went to the doctor and learned that he had Type II diabetes, and his blood sugar was 626.
He wrote that he almost lost his life, and he was about to lose both of his feet. Francis emphasized that the failed spot saved his life.
WWE released Top Dolla in a wave of cuts on September 21. He is set to return to GCW in January. More information is available here.
