AEW President Tony Khan set the record straight moments ago about one of the best up-and-coming talents in the industry. He confirmed on social media that the star is now signed to the company.

On Dynamite a few days ago, it was announced that Kevin Knight would make his singles debut for the Jacksonville-based promotion tonight on Collision. This was not his first rodeo with the company, as he has competed in a couple of matches during their Dark shows and was even involved in the Forbidden Door pay-per-view back in 2022, representing NJPW.

Tonight, the 28-year-old was in action against Jay White. The Switchblade emerged victorious during their bout, and he has picked up needed momentum heading into the Owen Hart Cup Tournament later this year.

After the match, Tony Schiavone claimed that Kevin Knight is now All Elite. White also hinted at this being the case, as he told the fans that this was not the last they'd see of him. Tony Khan made this official, as he took to X/Twitter to confirm that Knight is now signed with the company.

"Congratulations, it’s official! After a fantastic performance at Saturday Night #AEWCollision tonight, @Jet2Flyy Kevin Knight is All Elite!" TK announced.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.

Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
