As noted before, Kevin Knight’s contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling expired this past January and has been a free agent.
Saturday’s AEW Collision show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin featured Knight making an in-ring appearance for AEW. Knight competed in a singles match against Jay White, which was won by White.
Following the match, White gave a post-match speech praising Knight and telling fans that he is sure we will see more of Kevin in AEW. White the turned his attention towards this year’s Men’s Owen Hart Cup tournament and talked about his goal to win it and become the new AEW World Champion at All In Texas.
