Eddie Kingston Provides Latest Update On Comeback

In recent weeks, it has felt as though Eddie Kingston has been crawling ever closer to an in-ring comeback. After spending over a year on the shelf, it was noted that Kingston had once again begun in-ring training, however he expected to miss the upcoming AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door PPV in London, England. 

When speaking on Cezar Bononi’s podcast, Kingston delved more into his recovery, giving the latest update on how he’s feeling. 

“My job, right now, is to be ready for when it’s time. You never know when that call is. I talked to my boss. I talked to him and everything is good. Everything takes time. I’m not cleared yet. I feel, because I’ve done practice, sparring matches, I feel like I can go right now, but again I’m not (medically cleared). Because when I went to PT, they said, ‘Oh, your strength went down,’ because I’ve been doing more agility stuff. They said, let’s get back to it. So, I started to do that. I still have six sessions of PT that I want to do.”

“Then the guy who books the show has to book a fight. People have to say yes. People have to say yes to all that stuff. It’s not just me being ready to rock and roll. It’s nobody’s fault; it’s a business. It happens. When it’s time, when I get cleared, when the fight is booked, when everything is good to go, you will know. That’s it. Just for the people out there getting mad that think something’s deeper than what it is, it’s not.”

Kingston’s absence came from an injury suffered against NJPW’s Gabe Kidd at NJPW Resurgence in which Kingston broke his leg and suffered both a torn meniscus and ACL.
