Kevin Knight Says He Found Out About Main Eventing WrestleCon SuperSow When It Was Announced Online
On April 11, WrestleCon announced The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, & Toa Liona) vs. JetSpeed (Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight) & Michael Oku was the new main event for the Mark Hitchcock Memorial Supershow.
The original main event of Leon Slater vs. Ricochet was canceled after TNA pulled Slater due to “partner conflicts.”
At the AEW Dynasty press conference, Knight was asked by Joel Pearl of Fightful’s In The Weeds when he found out about the match.
“Like a lot of things happen, I was privy to the information once I saw it get posted. I’m used to it at this point. As a champ, you gotta stay ready, you never have to get ready. You put the Jet on the field, I’m gonna score. Wrestling The Demand, we’ve done that millions of times. I love to get in there with Ricochet’s bald head ass and smack him up a little bit. It’ll be another day,” he said.
Tony Khan thanked Knight, and added, “It’s the Mark Hitchcock tribute show, so it’s really a great thing. Given the circumstances, AEW really wanted to step up and make sure we did our part to make sure the tribute show is a great show. I appreciate everyone involved in that match.”
Knight won the AEW TNT Title at AEW Dynasty.
