Report: Kevin Knight re-signs with AEW
Kevin Knight is staying with AEW.
Fightful Select is reporting that Knight has recently re-signed with the company. He signed a one-year contract at the start of 2025, but the new contract is now a multi-year deal. It was noted that Knight is highly regarded within the company.
Knight, 29, got his break in pro wrestling as a Young Lion when he joined NJPW in 2020, training at the company’s dojo in LA. During his time in the company he teamed with KUSHIDA, where they held the IWGP Junior Tag Team titles on two occasions.
In January of 2025, Knight chose to leave NJPW and joined AEW, where he and Speedball Mike Bailey quickly formed their JetSpeed tag team, wrestling some of the top teams in the company. They, along with Hangman Adam Page, beat The Opps back in January to win the AEW Trios titles. They proceeded to lose those titles on this week’s Dynamite after Don Callis demanded an impromptu title match. Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher, and Mark Davis emerged as the new champions, pinning Knight.
