All Elite Wrestling founder and CEO Tony Khan thinks Kenny Omega vs. Kevin Knight is a “must-see” match going into AEW’s newest PPV.

The main event for this Sunday’s AEW Redemption will see Kenny Omega look to notch his first defence of his second reign as AEW World Champion. ‘The Best Bout Machine’ will be matched up against the Kevin Knight, with the TNT Champion looking to become ‘Jet 2 Belts’ by the end of the night in Montreal. Now, AEW CEO Tony Khan has backed Knight to be a future star, suggesting fans could be in for a treat this weekend.

Speaking on the Battleground Podcast, Khan gave his view that Kevin Knight will be a future world champion, and that his bout with Kenny Omega will help elevate Redemption even further.

“I do think that Kevin Knight has everything it takes to be the World Champion. He is going to make sure that Redemption, his match versus Kenny Omega is a must-see match and that Redemption is a must-see pay-per-view for all the wrestling fans this Sunday.”

Many would agree with Khan that Kevin Knight has proven himself in All Elite Wrestling, and that he’ll likely be world champion within the company one day. One such person is his former JetSpeed tag partner ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey, who feels that Kevin has a chance to beat Omega on Sunday. You can read more about that here.

Regarding Redemption as a whole, AEW has a stacked card that could grow even further via tonight’s Dynamite. Key matches include Willow Nightingale vs. Thekla for the Women’s World Title, Kyle Fletcher vs. Bandido for the International Championship, Mark Davis vs. Andrade El Idolo for the National Championship, and more. Viewers should note that the show an hour earlier than usual.
