Jeff Jarrett believes this AEW star might be the most underrated talent in the industry at the moment.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Jeff Jarrett recently spoke with Adventure Gamers. When asked who the most underrated wrestler in the industry right now is, Jarrett pointed to Kevin Knight, who is currently competing in the 2025 Continental Classic.
“Everybody nowadays with social media, you get some type of push and notoriety,” John Cena said. “But let me think, Kevin Knight is coming on the scene, he’s in the Continental Classic, he’s really, really good. Obviously, Kyle Fletcher, but he’s getting his flowers right now.”
Jeff Jarrett credits Tony Khan for running AEW like a sports franchise
Elsewhere in the interview, Jarrett was asked what AEW does right as a company to make everyone in the locker room feel appreciated. The wrestling legend believes it comes down to the fact that Tony Khan looks at the wrestling industry as a sports franchise, and there’s a lot of upside to that.
“I think the way Tony came into the business. His father and the family own the NFL team, the Jacksonville Jaguars,” Jeff Jarrett said. “Obviously, they own Premier League club Fulham as well. So their mindset from the beginning was treating talent as if they were sports franchises.
“So that’s a positive, and again, I’m from the industry, and as the business has evolved from the territory days and all that, the business was done a certain way, and Tony came in and pivoted on that. And so there, there is a mindset from just all the things that would come along with Tony looking at the industry as a sports franchise. There’s a lot of upside to that.”
