Ex-WWE star could see Jason Kelce at WrestleMania but not for the long haul

AJ Francis, formerly of WWE and currently of MLW, talks to Fox News Digital about Jason Kelce getting into pro wrestling but offers one caveat.

A.J. Francis is one of a handful of former football players who transitioned to pro wrestling and are currently at the top of their game in the sport.

Francis played in nine NFL games for the Miami Dolphins, Seattle Seahawks and Washington Redskins before training to become a pro wrestler and eventually earning a shot with WWE. He had two stints with WWE before being released and landing with Major League Wrestling and Total Nonstop Action (TNA).

As a former WWE competitor, Francis knows the company brings out big names for the event. Lawrence Taylor, Rob Gronkowski and George Kittle are among them. 

Current WWE star The Miz floated the possibility of Jason Kelce doing something in WWE, possibly even taking part in WrestleMania 40 in some way, being that it is at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. He told TMZ Sports that Kelce would be "dangerous in a WWE ring."

"I could see a lot of these guys do one off things," Francis told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. "… But that road life? Football players ain’t ready for it."

Francis, who went by Top Dolla in WWE, explained that while football training is physically taxing, he’s on the road for most of his year while in pro wrestling.
