Kevin Knight re-signs with AEW on multi-year deal

Kevin Knight has reportedly signed a multi-year contract extension with All Elite Wrestling, securing his future with the promotion after an impressive first year. The wrestler, known as The Jet, debuted in March 2025 and quickly rose to prominence by winning the AEW World Trios Championship. His recent performances include challenging MJF for the AEW World Title on Dynamite.

Kevin Knight's journey with All Elite Wrestling began in March 2025 when he was announced as All Elite following the expiration of his New Japan Pro Wrestling contract before Wrestle Kingdom 2025. He initially signed a one-year deal and made his debut on the March 29, 2025, edition of AEW Collision, facing Jay White in a match that showcased his skills despite the loss.

In his first year, Knight achieved significant success, including winning the AEW World Trios Championships alongside 'Speedball' Mike Bailey and Hangman Page. He also competed in the Continental Classic and the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, earning high regard within AEW for his in-ring work. Recent appearances include matches against Swerve Strickland and a high-profile challenge against Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) for the AEW Men's World Championship on the March 7, 2026, episode of AEW Dynamite.

During that Dynamite episode, Knight nearly defeated MJF for the title, but MJF's interference—kicking the referee into the ropes—prevented the victory. Later in the main event, Knight, Bailey, and Page lost the Trios Championships to the Don Callis Family, again due to MJF's involvement, as Page was preparing for his own title match.

Fightful Select reported on March 7, 2026, that 'Kevin Knight has re-signed with AEW.' Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful elaborated the next day, stating, 'He's now on a multi-year deal. His work has been highly regarded within AEW. He became trios champion alongside Speedball Mike Bailey and Hangman Page, and just worked against Swerve Strickland and MJF on AEW TV.'

Looking ahead, Knight will team with Mike Bailey and Mistico at AEW Revolution on March 15, 2026, defending against—or seeking to regain—the Trios Titles from Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher, and Mark Davis in a rematch. Hangman Page is unavailable, as he challenges MJF in a Last Chance Texas Death Match for the World Championship on the same card.
