Eddie Kingston’s wrestling career was at its pinnacle last year, thanks to Tony Khan recognizing his babyface potential. However, after breaking his leg during a No Ropes Last Man Standing match against Gabe Kidd, he has been sidelined from the ring. And now, while speaking to Cezar Bononi on his YouTube channel, Kingston has disclosed that despite the injury occurring on a New Japan show, Khan stepped in to cover his surgery bill after his insurance declined to pay for it at the last minute.
43-year-old Eddie Kingston seriously contemplated retiring from the wrestling business before signing with AEW, having failed to establish himself as a performer on the indies or in TNA. Yet his persistence finally paid off when AEW booked him to wrestle Cody Rhodes on Dynamite for the TNT Championship, which, instead of being his swan song, saw him sign a full-time contract and become one of AEW’s most beloved talents, who is sorely missed by fans. Still, following a challenge issued by Big Bill on Collision it appears Kingston’s in-ring return is imminent.
