TNT Champion Kevin Knight turned heel at the end of Sunday’s AEW Double or Nothing, hitting Darby Allin with a UFO Splash off the top rope on a stretcher, after losing the title to MJF in a hair vs. title match.
Below is an excerpt from Alex Kahrs’ AEW Double or Nothing recap, detailing the Knight’s heel turn.
MJF is presented with the title, celebrating in the corner as medics tend to Darby. They get him on a stretcher, but MJF won’t let him get away before standing over him with the title held high. Kevin Knight comes running down to fend him off, forcing the new champion to retreat to the outside.
Kevin Knight goes up top to give out to MJF…before leaping off for a UFO Splash onto Darby, sending him crashing to the floor while still attached to the stretcher! The crowd are stunned, first into silence and then into boos as Kevin stares Darby down. MJF is also shocked for a moment before applauding Knight’s apparent change in attitude, with medics helping Darby back onto the stretcher as Double Or Nothing comes to a close.
After the show went off the air, AEW cameras attempted to get a word with Knight backstage, but he told the cameraman to get out of his face.
