AEW star Kevin Knight previously turned down a WWE tryout offer.

Kevin Knight revealed during a recent appearance on Hey! (EW) With RJ City, he decided not to pursue a tryout offer from WWE. The AEW star explained that his decision was because he wasn't seeking the job the Stamford-based promotion was offering.

"Were you like, well f**k those guys?" City questioned. "Of course, we heard about that story, right?" Knight answered. "What was the declining phone call?" RJ asked. "The declining phone call? I don't need this, this ain't my job, you know what I'm saying? Just like that, quoted," Knight said. [9:51 - 10:07]

Defeating Darby Allin is sure to give the Upstart a huge momentum boost, and it will be interesting to see what he does next in the AEW Continental Classic tournament.
