Brian Cage Returns On AEW Dynamite, Answers Kevin Knight’s TNT Title Open Challenge

Brian Cage is back.
After defeating Westbrook in a quick match, ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey handed over the ring to his tag team partner, Kevin Knight. ‘The Jet’ was in the ring to put his TNT Championship on the line in an open challenge.
Fans were surprised when Brian Cage answered the call. This is Cage’s first time appearing for AEW since March 2025, when he suffered a knee injury.
Despite his best efforts, Cage was not able to unseat Knight’s reign with the TNT Championship. The finish of the bout featured Knight pinning ‘The Machine’ after hitting his UFO Splash finisher.
