How AEW Views Kevin Knight Revealed

Kevin Knight has made a splash since signing with All Elite Wrestling, with ‘The Jet’ regularly featured on AEW TV since signing with the promotion in March 2025.

Early into his run and Knight has already shared an AEW ring with the likes of Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega, and Kazuchika Okada, and a report from Fightful Select suggests that AEW management are high on Knight.

Knight is believed to be well liked in AEW, with the promotion having fended off interest from WWE to secure his signature. Knight also remains signed to New Japan Pro-Wrestling - where he is currently competing in the Best of the Super Juniors 32 tournament - with AEW President Tony Khan, and NJPW/AEW liaison Rocky Romero meeting with Knight as a pair to solidify the AEW-NJPW relationship and seemingly convince him to sign with both promotions.

A former IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champion, Knight’s prior NJPW contract expired in early 2025, with AEW, WWE, and NJPW - amongst others - believed to have been keen on signing him. Knight ultimately chose AEW as his main promotion, making his debut on the March 29 edition of AEW Collision. Cultaholic is now on WhatsApp! Follow us here.
