    AEW Dynamite: Kevin Knight Retains TNT Championship

    Kevin Knight became TNT Champion after winning the Casino Gauntlet Match at AEW Dynasty. Now, there’s no rest for the champion. It was announced immediately following the pay-per-view that Kevin Knight would defend his championship against Claudio Castagnoli.

    Claudio was one of the Death Rider members who didn’t get the opportunity to compete in the Casino Gauntlet, while PAC, Wheeler YUTA & Daniel Garcia did. So, he gets his shot on tonight’s AEW Dynamite.

    The match started off with a furious pace as both men traded pin attempts. But, they’re both too smart to let it end so early. This contest had the fans on their feet with all the fast-paced, wild action.

    Claudio event fried for the neutralizer off the top rope, but luckily for Kevin Knight, he was able to get out of it. But, he wasn’t out of danger as Claudio Castagnoli was drilling him with some vicious upper-cuts and his signature giant swing!

    In the end, Kevin Knight was able to land his UFO Splash and pick up a big win, retaining the AEW TNT Championship! After the match, Kevin grabbed a microphone and gave props to Claudio for being one of his toughest opponents. He then said he will be keeping his eye on the main event, because “Jet2Belts sounds too fly!”

    Also on Wednesday, the AEW TBS Championship will be on the line when Willow Nightingale defends against the newly returned Kamille. During the AEW Dynasty Zero Hour, Kamille attacked Willow backstage, revealing that she’s back. Then, Kamille had a match where she dominated a local opponent. After the match, Nightingale came out to confront Kamille, but was once again laid out. Later into the show, Willow threw out the challenge to Kamille for Spring Break Thru, and was willing to put her title on the line. It’s official.

    Lastly, we have a brand new AEW TNT Champion and it’s ‘The Jet’ Kevin Knight. Kyle Fletcher was forged to vacate the TNT title due to injury and thus, the title was up for grabs in a Casino Gauntlet Match on Sunday night. After many competitors entered, Kevin Knight stood tall as the new champion. In the gauntlet match, Death Riders members Wheeler Yuta, PAC and Daniel Garcia were all in the match. But, there was one interesting omission, which was the Death Riders’ Claudio Castagnoli.

    Because Claudio was not in the match but the other team members were, he will get a chance at the gold. Tony Khan announced during the post-Dynasty scrum that Kevin Knight will defend the TNT Championship against Claudio Castagnoli this Wednesday.
