Kevin Knight names some top industry stars as his dream opponents.
The NJPW star spoke with Women’s Wrestling Talk about this very subject, which saw him name Lio Rush, Darby Allin, and Swerve Strickland as his prime candidates. Knight explains why each man brings something unique that he would love to test inside the ring.
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.
Elsewhere in the interview, Knight spoke about his favorite wrestling cities and what he thinks about Mercedes Moné. You can read his full thoughts on both those subjects by clicking here.
