After losing to Gabe Kidd in a No Rope Last Man Standing match at NJPW Resurgence, Eddie Kingston was ambushed by Jack Perry, which led to a sudden attack from The Young Bucks. The AEW EVPs incapacitated Kingston using the EVP trigger.
In an Instagram post, Kingston revealed earlier this year that he had surgery for a torn ACL. Due to this, Kingston may be out of action for as long as ten months following his surgery. Pwinsider reported that Kingston was informed him that he is unlikely to be cleared for a return to the ring before June 2025.
Cezar Bononi shared a new video in which Kingston discussed the injury.
“I will. I never doubted that I’ll come back. No, I got more shit to do. Being the top guy in the business is still a goal. Everybody wants to do the Tokyo Dome, which I get, I want to do that too. Somehow I want to do Budokan. If I do Budokan, I’m retiring. My favorite match ever was in the Budokan. I got more shit I gotta do before I call it. You know me, once I’m done, [I’ll be in the] middle of nowhere. I don’t want to be nowhere near the business. I just got more shit I gotta do. I never doubted coming back. It’s just the work I know I have to put in, and it’s like ugh, fuck, you know what I mean? [Laughs] When the surgery first happened, I was like, yeah, I could take breaks. But now the goal I want to hit, it’s like I can’t. I don’t have time,” Kingston said.
