Kevin Knight Retains TNT Title Against Darby Allin On AEW Dynamite

Kevin Knight remains the AEW TNT Champion, defeating Darby Allin on this week’s AEW Dynamite to retain his title. Wednesday night’s show pitted Allin against Knight in the opening contest, with the latter’s championship on the line.

Allin went up top for the Coffin Drop but Knight was able to recover and hit him with the title on the back of the head. Allin ended up in the Tree of Woe, and Knight hit a Coast to Coast before pulling the ref intot he ring and hitting the UFO Splash for the win.
