AEW star has recently pulled out of multiple appearances, including last night’s AEW Dynamite/Collision tapings in Denver, Colorado, causing a great deal of fan concern. And now PWInsider.com has reported the former ROH Champion is dealing with severe migraine headaches. This comes after his return to AEW in late 2025 following a lengthy 16-month absence due to a serious leg injury.

44-year-old Kingston, known as the “Mad King,” has forged a notable career since debuting in 2002, working for most of the major indie companies and in TNA before signing with AEW in 2020. Since then, he has held the ROH World and NJPW Strong titles, in addition to having memorable rivalries with CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, and Chris Jericho. However, the respected everyman wrestler is currently in the midst of his final indie run, planning to wrap up those bookings by late 2026 and ultimately retire from the business when his current AEW contract expires.
