Knight, the brother of AEW star Saraya, has competed in ROH before but hasn’t wrestled on AEW programming until now. Saraya announced Knight’s AEW signing during an episode of Rampage last month. He’s been involved with Saraya’s feud against Ruby Soho and Cool Hand Ang.
A backstage brawl between Cool Hand Ang and Knight aired on last night’s Rampage:
