Zak Knight, the brother of former AEW Women’s World Champion Saraya, is no longer #AllElite after his contract expired last month, according to PWInsider.
After going 3-0 in Ring of Honor, Knight was signed in February 2024 and introduced as a potential love interest for Ruby Soho as part of Saraya’s revamped Outcasts group.
He made his AEW in-ring debut against Soho’s husband Angelo Parker on an April 2024 Rampage, picking up a win. He then won four straight dark matches from May through June 2024, in addition to two ROH wins, and was never heard from again on TV. Knight has wrestled sparingly in the UK since last August.
After signing a one-year extension, Saraya has been away from AEW since last October as she was working on TV projects and preparing for the upcoming release of a book. She said in late-January that she is ready to return, but is waiting on the right story which she hopes is against TBS Champion Mercedes Mone to play off their past in WWE.
Since 2011, Josh has been a contributing editor to Wrestling Observer/F4WOnline.com and also hosts the Punch-Out podcast. He has also written for Fight Magazine, Bloody Elbow, Bleacher Report, and other websites. He's a 2000 graduate of the University of Maine, worked in pro sports, and once was an indie ring announcer.
