Kevin Knight Joins Don Callis Family: Are Fans Judging the End Before the Beginning?

This week on Sit Down Shut Up Mark Out, Blade Daily and Books and Bodyslams dive into one of the most heated discussions coming out of AEW Dynamite: the backlash to Kevin Knight joining the Don Callis Family. Fans don't seem upset that Knight turned heel. They're upset about where he landed. But why? Has the Don Callis Family earned its reputation among fans? Are people reacting to the story that's being told, or the story they assume is coming? And in an era dominated by social media, fantasy booking, and instant reactions, have wrestling fans become too quick to judge a story before it has a chance to unfold? Plus, Mercedes Moné has returned to AEW and immediately shaken up the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament and the women's division. But is the return of one of the biggest stars in wrestling enough to secure more consistent television time and meaningful stories for the women of AEW? Or does the division still face larger structural challenges? And speaking of the women's division, Thekla has officially declared "DEATH to STARDOM!" What exactly does that mean? Is she positioning herself as AEW's next major female villain? Could a collision course with Mercedes Moné be in the cards? And how will her war against her past shape the future of AEW's women's scene? Join us LIVE Friday at 6pm ET | 5pm CT | 3pm PT as we break down the biggest stories in AEW and ask the questions wrestling fans can't stop debating. #AEW #AEWDynamite #KevinKnight #MercedesMone #Thekla #DonCallisFamily #WrestlingPodcast #SDSUMO #AllEliteWrestling #ProfessionalWrestling
