Zak Knight, the brother of former AEW Women’s World Champion Saraya, is no longer #AllElite after his contract expired last month, according to PWInsider.

After going 3-0 in Ring of Honor, Knight was signed in February 2024 and introduced as a potential love interest for Ruby Soho as part of Saraya’s revamped Outcasts group.

He made his AEW in-ring debut against Soho’s husband Angelo Parker on an April 2024 Rampage, picking up a win. He then won four straight dark matches from May through June 2024, in addition to two ROH wins, and was never heard from again on TV. Knight has wrestled sparingly in the UK since last August.

After signing a one-year extension, Saraya has been away from AEW since last October as she was working on TV projects and preparing for the upcoming release of a book. She said in late-January that she is ready to return, but is waiting on the right story which she hopes is against TBS Champion Mercedes Mone to play off their past in WWE.

Knight, the brother of AEW star Saraya, has competed in ROH before but hasn’t wrestled on AEW programming until now. Saraya announced Knight’s AEW signing during an episode of Rampage last month. He’s been involved with Saraya’s feud against Ruby Soho and Cool Hand Ang.

A backstage brawl between Cool Hand Ang and Knight aired on last night’s Rampage:

Saraya announces brother ‘Zodiac’ Zak Knight has signed with AEW

Posted on by Ethan Renner

“Zodiac” Zak Knight is All Elite. 

Saraya announced during Friday’s AEW Rampage episode that her brother, independent veteran Zak Knight, has signed with the company. 

In a backstage promo with Harley Cameron & Renee Paquette, Saraya introduced Knight and said that they come from wrestling royalty in the United Kingdom. 

Saraya went on to say that she had planned to set Ruby Soho up with her brother before Soho paired up with Angelo Parker. 

Knight did not speak in the promo segment. 

32, Knight made his in-ring debut for ROH in a match that aired on the December 28 Ring of Honor TV episode. He also wrestled for the company twice in January, with matches airing on the January 11 show, and the January 25 episode. 

Knight revealed last year that Saraya had helped him obtain a work visa for the United States.

Cagematch lists Knight’s first career match as taking place in 2002 at a show where he took on his mother, Sweet Saraya Knight.

Saraya, Zak, and the Knight family were profiled in the 2019 Fighting with My Family movie produced by WWE Studios and Dwayne Johnson’s Seven Bucks Productions, among other producers.
