Kevin Knight is signed to both AEW and NJPW

In an interview with Adrian Hernandez on Unlikely, Knight explained he is signed to both All Elite Wrestling and NJPW. He is not a full-timer with either company, as he is a contracted member of both companies, allowing him to wrestle for both simultaneously.

"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," he said.
