Kevin Knight has turned.
Tonight’s Double or Nothing PPV was main-evented by the AEW World Championship match between MJF and Darby Allin. Maxwell had to put his hair on the line to get the rematch. Having defended the title more than half a dozen times during his short reign, Darby Allin was pretty beat up entering the match.
The exhaustion finally caught up with the champ at the end of the bout as he passed out while trying to lock the challenger in the Scorpion Deathlock. MJF was then able to take advantage of the situation and pick up the victory.
Kevin Knight Turns Heel
Kevin Knight showed up after the bell to stop the new champion from hurting the defeated star. As MJF retreated to the stage, however, Knight himself delivered a UFO splash to Darby who had been secured on a stretcher.
Fans have noted that this heel turn was already predicted earlier this week as the TNT Champion had warned Darby not to let people down in a promo on Collision:
It’s unknown if Darby Allin will be taking any time off after his loss. Knight’s tag team partner Mike Bailey, has not reacted to his turn and we will have to see if the partnership between the two continues after tonight.
