Some AEW Stars took a dig at WWE for already promoting Top Dolla to SmackDown during the WWE Draft 2021.
Top Dolla, aka A.J. Francis, is a former American football player who represented a handful of teams in his career. Francis eventually left the world of football and started his WWE career back in 2020. He made his TV debut on NXT in May 2021.
Since then, Top Dolla has been part of the Hit Row faction. Recently, Hit Row was drafted to the blue brand.
Top Dolla, who has been in developmental for just over a year, has been accused by AEW Stars of being dangerous and unsafe. Sammy Guevara, Nick Comoroto, and Aaron Solo recently took a dig at WWE in Sammy Guevara's YouTube vlog.
In the vlog, Nick asked for a dollar for the vending machine. The stars then subtly made fun of Top Dolla as the conversation progressed.
"Give me a green dollar...This doesn't look like they finished it..You know The Top Dollar should probably been in development a little longer huh..You know," said Nick Comoroto.
Towards the end, Aaron added that the "Top Dollar" is a little dangerous. Sammy threw another shot by saying it's unsafe.
