Who are the male and female breakout stars of the future currently in All Elite Wrestling?
Let's ask the head honcho himself!
Tony Khan spoke with Compas on the Beat for an interview this week, during which he was asked to name a male and female breakout star of the future in AEW.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where the AEW and ROH boss-man gives his answer to these questions. Also embedded below is a complete video archive of the discussion.
On a potential male breakout star to keep an eye on in AEW: "I would say we have a great young group of wrestlers. I’m very excited about AEW and our partnerships with companies around the world. And, I think two wrestlers that are under dual contracts, that I’d say you want to watch for the future in AEW and worldwide, ‘The Jet’ Kevin Knight, who is coming from New Japan Pro Wrestling and is a fantastic young American wrestler. He is signed to both AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling. And he is now one-third of the AEW World Trios Champions as the Jet Set Rodeo. I think, ‘The Jet’ Kevin Knight, whether it’s in trios, tag teams as JetSpeed or ‘The Jet’ as a singles star. That’s one to watch for the future in any wrestling promotion in the world."
On a potential female breakout star to keep an eye on in AEW: "As far as young female wrestlers, Persephone, who works with AEW and CMLL, has come in. I think Persephone is fantastic. She also wrestled for me in ROH, and I think Persephone has all the tools. And again, talk about our partnerships, dual contracts, she’s a great star for CMLL, and she can be a great star in AEW too."
