MLW star AJ Francis talks fight for control of Bomaye Fight Club, teases new members

AJ Francis will compete against Alex Kane at MLW War Chamber. He talks to Fox News Digital about the upcoming match.

A.J. Francis entered Major League Wrestling (MLW) and immediately set his sights on Alex Kane and the Bomaye Fight Club in hopes of sowing dissent and becoming the group’s new leader.

Francis busted onto the MLW scene and immediately called out Kane. He defeated one of Kane’s closest confidants in Mr. Thomas at MLW’s "Once Upon A Time in New York City" and now will face the former MLW Heavyweight Champion at "MLW War Chamber" in Tampa, Florida, on Friday.

The former WWE star told Fox News Digital that his rivalry with Kane is inspired by the "Black Panther," as the two alpha dogs battle for control of an integral group in MLW.

"I’m coming in as the outsider who is trying to make his claim for the throne. 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."

Francis said the two have bounced ideas off each other about how the match should go, but once he takes over, "they’ll actually have a leader that can give them exposure to the level that they deserve."

He shared with Fox News Digital some of his plans for when he does take control of Bomaye – and it starts with beating Kane first.
