The WWE upheld their flagship broadcast under special circumstances due to the corona virus pandemic. Missing were the Cheers and the boos from the crowd, as the WWE moved their show to Orlando’s training center and made it spectator-free without an audience.

If you paid close attention to the 24/7 championship melee, you can notice Francis making his push to capture the belt.

The NFL was well represented in The WWE’s 24/7 championship brawl as Rob Gronkowsi came away with the surprise victory after defeating his fellow NFL alumni and personal friend Mojo Rawley.

The 29-year-old, who now goes by the name FRAN¢ was a member of the New York Giants Practice squad during the 2018 season, but football was not what he was dreaming of.

“It was never meant to be, and I can look back at it now and say that wasn’t my destiny,” Francis said referring to his NFL career. “I was put on earth to be a professional wrestler. All of the things I’m good at — controlling a crowd, audience interaction, the fact that I can take a beating — I can use all of them in wrestling.”

Although you his debut was short, it’s a start in the right direction on fulfilling his dream.

“My parents had video of me cutting promos against Hulk Hogan since I was 18 months old. I’ve watched wrestling for nearly 30 years,” said Francis, who turns 30 in May. “The reason I moved to Orlando when I was in the NFL is because I knew when my career ended this is what I wanted to do.”

Hopefully soon this pandemic will pass, and FRAN¢ will get to perform in front of a live WWE packed house, because we all want to get back to normal life.

Stay safe

Rob Gronkowski on Giants new head coach Joe Judge.
“He’s out of control and I love it. He’s a great coach for the Giants’ organization. He has so much passion for the game, and that’s what you need if you want to be a coach. You have to love the game of football to the max and that’s what he does. He knows the game of football inside and out.”

Troy Aikman on Jason Garrett & Daniel Jones.
“I thought he did a nice job when he was calling the plays,” Aikman said. “He comes from a pretty good perspective, having been around good players but also good coaches. That’s probably been the biggest influence on him. I don’t always think players make the best coaches, but he has proved to be a good coach, and he keeps in perspective what it was like for him as a player and what he liked and didn’t like. I’d be surprised if he and Daniel Jones don’t hit it off right away and develop a real chemistry.”

Jimmy Garoppolo on Jerry Schuplinski.
“He’s a great guy at simplifying things, taking a complicated offense and simplifying it for a quarterback,” Garoppolo said. “I think that’s crucial and he did a great job of that when I was in New England. I know he did that with Jacoby [Brissett] too.
