Kevin Knight Retains TNT Title Over MJF To Land AEW World Championship Shot Next Week

Darby Allin’s on-air offer for a title defense signals Kevin Knight’s fast climb into AEW’s top scene.

Overview

  • Kevin Knight, defending the TNT Championship on Wednesday's Dynamite, beat MJF with a small package after a low blow that followed referee Bryce Remsburg removing the belt from play.
  • Darby Allin then descended from the rafters and offered Knight an AEW World Championship match on next week’s Dynamite, putting the TNT champ into a shot at the company’s top belt.
  • After the bell, MJF chop‑blocked Knight and told the crowd he cares little about the TNT title because he wants his “Triple B” World Title back from Allin.
  • Hours before the show, AEW president Tony Khan said the match would open Dynamite and praised Knight as having what it takes to be a top world champion.
  • Knight won the TNT title at the Dynasty pay‑per‑view and already defended it against Claudio Castagnoli, while Brody King said he would grant Knight a title shot if he beats Allin, hinting at a crowded picture heading into Double or Nothing on May 24.
