Kevin Knight is officially All Elite, after having interest across the wrestling world.

Fightful Select reported in early January that Kevin Knight's deal had expired the week of NJPW Wrestle Kingdom, resulting in his title loss on the show. We were told during that period that New Japan Pro Wrestling was very interested in retaining Knight, but that many expected him to look to land in a company in the United States.

Knight met with Tony Khan and Rocky Romero early in February around the time he worked an ROH taping where he wrestled AR Fox to a time limit draw. Around that time he was also looking to speak with WWE.

PWinsider had noted that he had an "invited WWE tryout." We've not confirmed that as of yet, or if the terminology implies a private WWE tryout or if he attended. When Fightful inquired with Performance Center sources, one longtime staff member said "I'm not sure what more they needed to see. He wrestled in New Japan, CMLL, AEW, Ring of Honor, MLW and TNA. There are looks at this guy on every other stage but ours. Glad we were at least trying though." We can confirm WWE had interest, and we were told he would have likely started in NXT had he been signed.

We spoke to sources in TNA and other companies, but they believed that he wasn't returning unless he signed with WWE. Knight wrestled seven matches there between January and March last year. Knight also worked four MLW dates between September and November.

Probably time to go work in something non-wrestling.

I've always ridden for Saraya and always will, but she booked her career into a bit of a corner IMO. She came into the game like a British strong-style evangelist and amongst the Divas of the time, she stood out almost with the aura of a shooter. She was still just keeping up the rep as the industry changed around her but when she was out long-term the game CHANGED on her.

She's still got the look, she's still got the promo on her day, she seems to be respected in any locker room, but she's not a main event womens talent between the ropes in 2025 money.

It got shyt on, but from the crowd I thought she knocked All In 2024 out the fukkin' park honestly.

I hope it's all on good terms.

They never should have signed Paige. She's damaged goods, literally and figuratively. I knew Snowman wouldn't do anything with her. She was just another action figure to have in his collection. I'm sure she'll be back in WWE.

"According to Fightful Select, the Raw Superstar is officially in his contract year, and while no exact expiration date has been confirmed, sources believe his current deal will wrap up sometime this summer. What’s still unclear is whether Kross is in active negotiations for a new deal—or if WWE plans to lock him in before time runs out."
