AJ Francis Says His MLW Angle Was Inspired By ‘Black Panther’

AJ Francis looked to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for some inspiration in his feud with Alex Kane.

Speaking with Ryan Gaydos of FOX News Digital, AJ Francis explained how his rivalry with Kane, a former MLW World Heavyweight Champion, is inspired by Black Panther.

“I’m coming in as the outsider who is trying to make his claim for the throne,” AJ Francis said. “And so far, I’ve already sown dissension in his ranks and beaten his top right-hand man Mr. Thomas,” he explained. “I’ve already started to lay the groundwork for the hostile takeover of Bomaye.”

Kane also said that he has had fun bouncing ideas off of Kane, and he noted that he will help get Boymaye Fight Club the exposure that it deserves.

“First things first, I’m going to beat Alex Kane,” he said. “Just like in ‘Black Panther,’ you got to beat the king to be the king. And after I beat Alex Kane, I think having a faction like Bomaye at my back in MLW and just in general will save me from a lot of snakes in the grass.
