The AEW World Championship picture is about to get completely wild. Reigning TNT champion Kevin Knight is reportedly being eyed for a massive title match, sources saying it could be for the AEW World Championship, potentially against new champ Kenny Omega.
Knight Steps Up to the Main Event
Fightful Select is buzzing: Knight has been discussed for an AEW World Championship match, possibly hitting the ring at the upcoming Redemption pay-per-view. Knight, crushing it as TNT champion, is slated for programs with "world title-level talent." If he steps into that main event at Redemption in Montreal, his opponent is almost certainly Kenny Omega, who just snatched the AEW World Championship from MJF on Dynamite last week. Redemption could be Omega's only title defense before his likely main event showdown with Will Ospreay at All In. Omega would probably beat Knight, but stepping into the world title ring? That's a huge vote of confidence in Knight's future as a top star. This is the push we've been waiting for!Alexa Bliss Brutalized After SmackDown Attack
Meanwhile, in WWE, Alexa Bliss is showing the brutal aftermath of her attack by Jade Cargill on last week's SmackDown. Bliss posted a video on Instagram Tuesday, clearly wearing an arm brace. Amid chaos, Cargill pinned Bliss's arm in a steel chair and smashed it against the mat. Alexa writhed in pain, her arm hanging awkwardly. She even shared photos of her badly bruised elbow on X. Nobody knows what this injury means for Bliss's SummerSlam plans, but a Cargill versus Flair singles match looks locked. With women's champion Rhea Ripley's status up in the air due to injury, that Cargill-Flair match might even have the women's title on the line. If Bliss can heal up and help her friend during the bout, the Minneapolis crowd would go absolutely wild.Stephanie Vaquer's Championship Return Looms
Another huge name is reportedly on the verge of returning: Stephanie Vaquer! She's been out since shortly after WrestleMania 42 with a shoulder injury. But WrestleVotes on Fightful Select (h/t Geno Mrosko of Cageside Seats) says Vaquer is expected back "around SummerSlam, the week before or at SummerSlam." Vaquer lost the Women's World Championship to Liv Morgan at WrestleMania 42 and confronted her on Raw, looking for a rematch. But then Judgment Day members Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez attacked her backstage. During her absence, Liv Morgan made it to the Queen of the Ring final but lost to Iyo Sky. Now, Sky challenged Morgan for the Women's World Championship at SummerSlam, and it's official. If Vaquer returns and neutralizes The Judgment Day, clearing the way for Sky to beat Morgan, that would be an insane, high-impact comeback! So yeah, the wrestling world is about to go absolutely bonkers! With SummerSlam and Redemption just around the corner, the stakes couldn't be higher. Will Vaquer make a game-changing return? Can Bliss defy her injury to get revenge? And is Kevin Knight really about to seize his moment and challenge for the AEW World Championship? Get ready, because it's going to be an unforgettable summer!This article was created with AI assistance and reviewed by Seattle On Tap editorial staff.
