AEW star Kevin Knight discussed his signing with the company on Pep Talks, including the rapid series of events that led to it.
Knight said, “Man, everything happened so fast. Like a blink of an eye, I was wrestling AR Fox on Ring Of Honor, and then soon, I get brought up to wrestle Jay on a Collision. Then in the following week, we had announced that I’m wrestling on the pay-per-view. So it’s like things happen like this. So I think it was just a tribute just to how hard I’ve worked and just the work that I put in because opportunity and preparation makes success. So I feel like I’ve always been preparing for this moment. I just had an opportunity to be successful. So it was just putting all my work out there, throwing it at the wall, giving Will everything I had, giving the city of Philadelphia everything I had. You bring good energy to Philadelphia, they’re going to give it right back to you tenfold. So the environment was amazing. Will is obviously amazing in his own right. So it’s just a matter of proving that I can keep up with the best in the world. So it was it was a validating experience for sure.”
