Kenneth Layne (born July 22, 1981) is an American professional wrestler, actor, dancer, and television personality better known by his ring name Kenny King. He is best known for his time with Impact Wrestling, where he is a former TNA X Division Champion and Impact Digital Media Champion.

Layne participated in WWE's reality show Tough Enough in 2002 and, after being one of the 4 finalist, he began a career in pro wrestling as Kenny King, working on promotions like Total Nonstop Action Wrestling or Full Impact Pro. In 2007, he began to work with Ring of Honor (ROH), where he was paired with Rhett Titus as the All Night Express. The duo won the ROH World Tag Team Championship but after an appearance with TNA, the team was stripped from the titles and King left ROH and joined TNA. Between 2012 and 2015, King worked with TNA and won the TNA X Division Championship twice. In 2015, he left TNA and returned to ROH, where he was paired again with Titus and Caprice Coleman as The Rebellion. He would win the ROH World Television Championship two times and the ROH World Tag Team Championship twice with Dragon Lee as part of La Facción Ingobernable. In 2022, King left ROH again and joined TNA, now known as Impact Wrestling, as part of Honor No More, a stable formed by ROH wrestlers. In 2023, King won the Impact Digital Media Championship.
