Afterward, Knight expressed support for Bailey’s own quest for gold. Bailey made it clear that he will go after the AEW World Championship next. Darby Allin, the current title holder, defended it against Konosuke Takeshita as he prepares for a hair vs. title match against Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF).
In a recent interview with PK Press Club Digital, Knight spoke about his tag team partner.
“Man, ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey is a savant – a wrestling savant. He’s been wrestling almost longer than I’ve been alive,” Knight said. “He’s been in every situation you can think of. He’s wrestled thousands of times. He watches wrestling all the time. He talks about wrestling all the time. He knows how to put everyone in the right place to get the best reaction from the crowd.

“So having someone like that on my side…and him kicking extremely hard. So, I think he’s extremely smart and I don’t need to feel those kicks, it’s a great combination for me. So, I have no complaints.”
Knight shared some of the wisdom Bailey has passed on to him over the years.
“The No. 1 thing is don’t overthink it. Don’t overthink it and do what you do,” Knight said. “As simple as it sounds, that’s literally the advice he gives you. And you take that and you say, ‘OK, don’t overthink it and just do what you do.’ And you go out there and do what you do and you come back and everyone’s happy and you get ready for the next one. »
Both men have been crushing it since joining AEW.

The two have twice accounted for two-thirds of the AEW Trios Championship. They won the belts with “The Hanged Man” Adam Page, and then again with legendary Lucha Libre competitor Místico.
