On Sunday, World Association of Wrestling (WAW), the Norfolk, England promotion owned by the legendary Knight Family, held it’s most ambitious show in their history, with a 4000+ attendance for Fightmare at Carrow Road, the home grounds for English Premier League’s Norfolk City FC. In the most anticipated match on the card, in a battle of father versus son, Ricky Knight Jr. defeated his father, Roy Knight, to become the new WAW Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion. Roy is a 5x WAW World Champion, and Ricky Jr. (also known as RKJ) now joins other family members in uncle Zak Knight and grandfather Ricky Knight in the history books as WAW World Champion.

It caps off a remarkable year for the 19-year old member of the Knight Family, which has been recently portrayed by Hollywood in the Dwayne Johnson produced film, Fighting With My Family, based around the career of RKJ’s more famous aunt, WWE Superstar Paige, and his uncle Zak. Earlier this year, RKJ captured the Southside Wrestling Entertainment (SWE) Speed King title in a 12-man tournament.
