Kevin Knight free agency update: ‘Lots of talk’ about potential WWE interest
A former NJPW champion could be on their way to WWE.

In the new issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reports that there’s been “lots of talk” about WWE potentially signing Kevin Knight. He’s a two-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion for NJPW, most recently holding the belts from October 2024 to January 2025. Knight & KUSHIDA dropped the titles to Robbie Eagles & Kosei Fujita in a multi-team ladder match at Wrestle Kingdom 19.
“Lots of talk regarding Kevin Knight here [WWE],” Meltzer wrote. “We haven’t heard he signed but only it’s something being talked about within the industry.”
Fightful Select reported earlier this week that Knight has had talks with American companies and also has been discussing a a potential new deal with NJPW. He became a free agent after his NJPW deal expired in January.
