What they're saying
"

TNT champion Kevin Knight was scheduled to face his former friend and JetSpeed tag partner Speedball Mike Bailey tonight (June 3) on Dynamite, but he had some news for us first. Well, actually, his new manager did. Don Callis’ ominious music hit to cut off another member of his Family, Andrade El Ídolo, who was again trying to get AEW World champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman to accept his challenge. Callis was there to introduce one of Andrade’s teammates (for now) in the next match. It turns out, that was his newest client… Knight. .@JET2FLYY IS THE NEWEST MEMBER OF @THEDONCALLIS FAMILY!

Knight was struggling to put Bailey away in their match, and momentum had even swing Speedball’s way when recently returned from injury Callis Family-member Jake Doyle distracted the referee, allowing Don to get involved and slow the challenger’s roll.

He can also learn from some of his new brothers. By my accounting, the TNT champ now has 14 of them: Kyle Fletcher Trent Beretta Lance Archer Brian Cage Mark Davis Josh Alexander Rocky Romero Hechicero Kazuchika Okada Wardlow Andrade El Ídolo El Clon Jake Doyle Volador Jr. In the comments below, let us know what you think of this move for Kevin Knight, The Callis Family, and AEW.
