Since… “SummerSplash” in July of 2025, there has been a brewing rivalry
between Austin Knight, and Michael Karsin. It’s hard for me to find Knight likeable in any sense, especially since he’s aligned himself with “Brilliance,” but… As a professional first, there’s absolutely no way that I would deny that what these
two men have been doing here at The Rogue Hall is anything short of captivating.

That was the first night that they came face-to-face on Rogue Hall grounds.

Knight had a match against Alex Calhira immediately after they went at it, and it was clear that Karsin was in his head, leading Knight to a loss. They both came to me individually after the show, and requested that a match be made. Whether you call it chemistry or true hatred, I could feel the tension in the air, and it wasn’t
a really hard decision. An immediate yes. Two high-caliber athletes competing.

The first match between them took place at “Dead or Alive” back in August of 2025, as they went head-to-head in a “First Blood” match. This match was probably one of the best matches under this stipulation that I’ve ever seen. Both men made sure to use every single edge of the ring and everything around it.

Austin Knight was victorious, but the loss didn’t sit well with Michael Karsin.

This feud won’t fall by the wayside, and we will continue it very soon.

All the best to both men,
