On May 20th, 2020, KiLynn King made her All Elite Wrestling debut and was defeated by Penelope Ford on AEW Dark. Following that, she made her AEW televised debut while partnering with Kenzie Paige in a loss to Nyla Rose on Dynamite. Obviously, she was on Tony Khan’s radar in a big way. That being said, she hasn’t appeared for AEW this year.
KiLynn King has been a semiregular fixture for AEW programming since then. She wasn’t locked into a contract, and was working elsewhere as well. However, she recently in an interview with Steve Fall of WrestlingNewsCo that she has signed a contract with IMPACT Wrestling.
“There’s been a lot of buzz on social media, ‘is she going to sign anywhere? Who is she going to sign with?’ The biggest thing I’ve been preaching is, guys, I already know what’s going to happen, I’ve manifested it, it’s just a matter of who is going to step up and offer that deal. IMPACT did, and I’m very excited. I’m in love with their product, I love the character work that goes on there, and I’m excited to be a part of that and see how KiLynn King grows through the IMPACT product. It’s going to be a great time.”
The moment they talked to me about ‘We want to take the King franchise and want to figure out how to make it work in IMPACT.’ That was the thing for me because I have been working for the last two years on how to make KiLynn King, the King, really standout in this generation. They were really on board with that.
There is a lot of amazing character work that goes on there. For the longest time, I’ve just been ‘wrestling, wrestling, wrestling,’ and now I get to dive more into that character work and my acting skills. I’m very excited for that process.”
KiLynn King
KiLynn King would most likely prove to be an asset for IMPACT Wrestling. We will have to wait and see what King does when she finally arrives in the IMPACT zone as an official star of the Knockouts division.
