AEW’s Eddie Kingston Provides Surgery Update

Eddie Kingston’s career was at its pinnacle earlier this year thanks to Tony Khan recognizing his everyman babyface potential. Still, after he, unfortunately, broke his leg following a collision with the guardrail during the finish of his match with Gabe Kidd at NJPW Strong Resurgence, he is currently sidelined from the ring.

And while an exact timeline for his return remains unclear, it’s believed he won’t wrestle again until mid-2025. However, there is finally some positive news, as the 42-year-old has confirmed via Instagram he has undergone surgery, which appears to have been successful at this stage.

“Well it’s done. So what up!”

It’s well known that the former ROH Champion had seriously contemplated retiring from the wrestling business prior to signing with AEW, having failed to establish himself as a featured performer. Yet his persistence would eventually pay off when, in his late 30s, AEW booked him to wrestle Cody Rhodes on Dynamite for the TNT Championship. Yet, rather than this being his swan song, he impressed in the ring and wowed with his promo work, giving AEW little option but to sign him.
