A fan-favorite AEW signing remains committed to another promotion. The forbidden door era of pro wrestling has brought unprecedented happenings, which have consistently entertained fans and brought more opportunities for talents. After a high-impact arrival, a popular AEW babyface has revealed his unique situation.
Kevin Knight debuted on AEW Dark in May 2022, then worked one match in the lead-up to the Forbidden Door pre-show. He returned last month with a trios dark match loss. Two weeks later, he suffered a Collision loss to Jay White before Tony Khan announced he was under contract with All Elite Wrestling.
NJPW then announced the ATL native for his third straight Best of the Super Juniors Tournament in May. The Jet is also under contract with New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Speaking to Unlikely's Adrian Hernandez, Knight confirmed the news when asked for insight into the NJPW contract situation.

The 28-year-old indicated that he was under contract with the Japanese company for one more year, or so.
"Oh yeah, for sure. New Japan's got nothing to worry about, I'm not going nowhere. As I got the AEW graphic, I inked a deal as well with New Japan, so New Japan gotta deal with me for another year or so, and so does AEW. So, I'm doing both (...) best of both worlds. You know, The Jet is intergalactic, interdimensional, interpromotional, you know? So, I'm just staying true to my name," Kevin Knight said. [From 3:03 to 3:28]
Knight participated in a WWE Performance Center tryout weeks before signing with All Elite Wrestling and said he didn't feel disrespected by the invitation. He was thankful for the experience. There was heavy talk within the industry of Knight joining WWE in February.
