Kevin Knight Names Swerve Strickland, Darby Allin, And More As Dream Opponents

Kevin Knight names his dream opponents. 

Kevin Knight has been teaming with Junior Heavyweight legend KUSHIDA and has shared the ring with a who’s who list of top junior heavyweights in the world and in history. 

Speaking to Women’s Wrestling Talk, Knight gave other opponents he’s interested in facing. 

“I got a few. I feel like I would have some great chemistry with, it may happen sooner than later, I got my eyes on that X-Division Championship, Lio Rush. So I ever step in the ring one-on-one with him, we worked a couple tags, whatever, had a couple tags, but if we get that actual one-on-one, whether it’s for the X-Division Title or whatever, I feel like we’d have great chemistry and put on something real nice. He’s one of my biggest inspirations, so to get in the ring with somebody like that, that would validate my whole career at that point, to be able to keep up with somebody I look up to. So me and Lio, definitely. Swerve [Swerve Strickland], of course. I really like Darby Allin’s intensity. I feel like we would have a great hard-hitting match. We also came from the same training school in Seattle, so I feel like that story would be there just to further, not only do one match, you could do some type of series or whatever. Lio, Swerve, and Darby, I feel like top three. Also Carmelo Hayes. I feel like all of us have some type of good chemistry,” he said.

Knight faced Lio on the September 7 episode of IMPACT with Lio picking up the victory.
