Zak Knight has finally competed in front of an All Elite Wrestling and Ring Of Honor audience. His sister, Saraya, has been advocating for her brother to wrestle in AEW for a few months. Ahead of the December 20 episode of AEW Dynamite, AEW President Tony Khan gave Knight his opportunity.
Knight shared on Twitter on December 19 that he had been in the United States for the month and was traveling with AEW. In the tweet, he spoke highly of the company and the backstage environment and thanked Khan for giving him the opportunity. This caught fans’ attention, but it was unclear when he would wrestle for the company.
The following day, he posted a photo of himself and Saraya standing at the entrance ramp for AEW Dynamite hours before the show. On Twitter, The Franchise Sports’s Sean Thurmond shared that Knight faced Peter Avalon in a taped match before the episode. The photo Thurmond shared of Knight and Avalon in action showed them wrestling for a ROH. It was also noted that the debuting talent won the match.
It’s unclear if it will be shown on a future episode of ROH on Honor Club. That said, Saraya got her wish, and Knight was able to showcase his skills in front of an AEW and ROH audience.
After making his debut and getting a win, it’s possible Knight could be making more appearances for either AEW or ROH.
What’s Next For Zak Knight?
Knight revealed that he will travel from December 28 until January 21, 2024. He has a Visa to work in the U.S. and Canada and posted on Twitter on December 10 that he is accepting bookings for January.
While he is the Shropshire Wrestling Alliance Champion, Knight is looking to explore his options next year. It’s possible that Khan could book Knight for more appearances, as his availability seems open for now.
For Saraya, she’ll likely want to see the AEW President give her brother more chances and potentially make him “All Elite” in 2024.
