Kevin Knight says there is no problem between him and Speedball.
The 29-year-old picked up a big victory at tonight's Dynasty PPV. He became the new TNT Champion in a Gauntlet match also involving his JetSpeed tag team partner 'Speedball' Mike Bailey.
While appearing on the post-Dynasty media scrum, the new champion was asked about his win and if the dynamic between the two partners will change now that he has won a singles title in AEW before Bailey. Kevin Knight explained that he and Speedball have remained friends despite facing each other many times before, and he would happily defend his championship against his tag team partner:
I know what you’re trying to do there. You’re trying to drum up a little bit of a problem between me and Speedball. Me and Speedball have faced off plenty of times in the past, so this is a team win for me and Speedball.
I’ve known him before I got here and we’ve had great chemistry. He only wants the best for me; I only want the best for him. And I would love to defend this against my tag team partner if you [Khan] would allow this, if we can set something up. Because we bring the best out of each other.
Tony Khan also announced during the media scrum that Knight will be defending his title against Claudio Castagnoli on this week's episode of Dynamite.
The title match tonight was the result of Kyle Fletcher relinquishing the championship due to an injury. You can check out the original Dynasty plans for Fletcher before that here.
