Surprising Update on Kevin Knight's AEW Contract Status

"He's now on a multi-year deal," Ross Sapp said in his report about Knight. "His work has been highly regarded within AEW. He became trios champion along side Speedball Mike Bailey and Hangman Page, and just worked against Swerve Strickland and MJF on AEW TV."

Kevin Knight especially impressed this past Wednesday night on AEW Dynamite. He went toe-to-toe with Maxwell Jacob Friedman in a battle for the AEW Men's World Championship, and if it wasn't for a crafty move by MJF to kick the referee into the ropes, Knight would have won the title.

He then competed again in the main event less than two hours later, again in a losing effort. Thanks to MJF's involvement, Knight, Speedball Mike Bailey and "Hangman" Adam Page dropped the AEW World Trios Championship to the Don Callis Family.

Adam Page is set to challenge MJF for the AEW Men's World Championship at AEW Revolution on Sunday, March 15, which means that Hangman was unavailable for the Trios Titles rematch that is taking place on the same show. Instead, Mistico will be teaming with Knight and Bailey against Kyle Fletcher, Kazuchika Okada and Mark Davis.
