Christopher Daniels says that he’s been very impressed by the work of Kevin Knight, Thekla, and more among the AEW and ROH roster. Daniels is the head of talent relations for AEW, and he recently did a signing for K&S Wrestlefest in which he was asked about which stars have been doing particularly good work as of late.
Daniels named Knight, the TNT Champion and new member of the Don Callis Family, as well as Thekla, The Rascalz, Konosuke Takeshita and more. You can see the highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):
On Which AEW Stars Have Been Impressing Him:
“Right now, I feel like Kevin Knight is doing great work as the TNT Champion. I feel like Thekla as the AEW Women’s Champion is an outstanding signing for AEW. She’s doing great work. She’s had some great matches in the last year. I’m a big fan of The Rascalz, all three of them. I think they’ve fit in very well. I’m glad that they’re getting an opportunity to show their best work, whether it’s singles, tags, or six-man matches. I’m a big fan of all three of those guys. They all do awesome stuff.”
On Konosuke Takeshita:
“I think [Konosuke] Takeshita is one of the best wrestlers in the world right now. I was very fortunate to get an opportunity to wrestle him a couple times. I’m very happy that I got that opportunity to work with him.”
On Names Too Look Out For In ROH:
“I think Action Andretti is outstanding. I feel like he had an opportunity on TV when he first came to AEW and since that time, he’s showed up and showed out in Ring of Honor in these last couple of weeks. I think he’s got a bright future ahead of him. Zayda Steel, my protege in the Sky Flight group. Zayda is amazing. I think she’s got a long career ahead of her. I think she’s done a lot of great stuff in the short time that she’s been in Ring of Honor, AEW.”
On Top Flight:
“From day one, I think they’ve been outstanding athletes, outstanding wrestlers. Just a matter of putting it all together, getting opportunities, and breaking through to that next level. But I think Top Flight can do it.”
