Kevin Knight, a rising star in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), recently made headlines after rejecting a tryout offer from WWE and making a successful debut in AEW. Natalya, a WWE star, sent a message of support to Knight after his impressive match against Jay White on AEW Collision.
Knight’s decision to turn down WWE’s offer was based on the fact that it didn’t align with the role or job he was seeking in his wrestling career. In a recent interview on the Hey! (EW) podcast with RJ City, Knight elaborated on his reasons for rejecting WWE and choosing to sign with AEW instead.
During the interview, Knight recalled his declining phone call to WWE, stating, “I don’t need this, this ain’t my job.” This bold move paid off as Tony Khan, the owner of AEW, immediately signed Knight after witnessing his talent in the ring. Since then, Knight has been gaining popularity and is quickly becoming a fan favorite in the wrestling world.
In a show of solidarity, Chris Jericho, a veteran wrestler and AEW star, welcomed Knight on his Talk is Jericho podcast, further cementing Knight’s position in the wrestling community. Natalya’s message of support on social media only adds to the positive reception Knight has received from both fans and fellow wrestlers.
With his impressive skills and dedication to the craft, Knight has proven to be a valuable asset to AEW. His decision to reject WWE’s offer has not only paved the way for a successful career in AEW but has also garnered respect from stars on both sides of the wrestling industry.
As Knight continues to showcase his talent and rise through the ranks in AEW, it’s clear that he made the right choice in choosing the path that best aligns with his goals and aspirations in the wrestling world. With the support of his peers and fans, Knight is poised to have a bright future in the world of professional wrestling.
