Dax Harwood praises young AEW talent: ‘Will be a big star for us’
Dax Harwood has nothing but praise for one young AEW star.
Speaking on the Beyond the Bell Podcast, the multiple time tag team champion said that Kevin Knight could be one of AEW’s bigger stars in the next few years, saying FTR’s chemistry with JetSpeed compares only to one of their top rivals back in their NXT days.
“I’ll tell ya, JetSpeed….I text Chad Gable, I said, we have more chemistry with JetSpeed than anybody else we’ve had since we wrestled American Alpha. I think Kevin Knight is going to be our main event ace,” he said. “I’ve never been with someone in the ring who knows ring positioning, who is as smart as he is, who knows timing…I could say a million good things about him, but he will be a big star for us in about three to five years.”
Knight, 28, made his debut in 2019 and started training at NJPW’s LA Dojo the following year. He signed with AEW earlier this year and began teaming with Speedball Mike Bailey. The two have been feuding with FTR in recent weeks, recently costing them a match against the Bang Bang Gang on Collision.
Both Knight and Bailey will take part in a Casino Gauntlet match to crown the first-ever AEW National Champion at AEW Full Gear later this month.
