While wrestling for WAW, Zak would take on members of his family multiple times including his mother (Sweet Saraya), father (Ricky Knight), sister (Britani Knight, now better known as Paige) and his brother (Zebra Kid). In 2006, Zak defeated his father, Ricky Knight, to become the WAW Pontins Open Champion. At WAW Champion's Night, Zak won a 15-man royal rumble. Zak won the WAW King Of The Ring 2007 by defeating The Cougar Kid in the finals. In the summer of 2007, Zak took on Jonny Storm in a best two out of three falls match for the WAW British Lightweight Championship, after both gaining a pinfall, Storm got the final pin. In August 2008, Zak took on Erik Isaksen for the WAW Heavyweight Championship in a best two out of three falls match. Both men gained a pinfall however the match would end up being stopped by the referee. On 2 March 2008 Zak defeated Paul Tyrell to win the WAW British Cruiserweight Championship in a best two out of three falls match. He would hold the championship until April 2010. Zak entered the WAW King Of The Ring 2009, but was eliminated by Zebra Kid. Zak took on Aron Frost in a match for the vacant WAW European Championship and lost.

With things looking bleak, two days later, Zak entered a gauntlet match for the RDW Lincolnshire Regional Championship and won. He would lose the championship three months later to Sykes in a triple threat ladder match which also included The Dominator. On 3 February 2007, Zak teamed up with his father Ricky Knight to take on the RDW Tag Team Champions The UK Pitbulls in a title match and won. The duo proved to be a formidable team, holding the championship for nine months before losing it to The Underdogs (Luc Harrison and Nathan Chalder) in a five way tag team match. Zak reached the final of the King Of The Castle 2008 tournament before losing to Havok. In 2009, Zak had multiple championship matches and failed to capitalize on any of them.
