Friday's Observer:

He was limping badly after the match and they were hopeful the injury wasn’t bad enough to put him out. But on 5/13, they found out the leg was broken and had to change around Dynamite and the main event for Double or Nothing.

EDDIE KINGSTON INJURY UPDATE AND IT IS NOT GOOD | PWInsider.com

PWInsider.com spoke with former Ring of Honor Champion Eddie Kingston tonight in order to secure an update on his injuries.

As previously reported, Kingston suffered a tibular fracture working for New Japan Pro Wrestling several weeks back in California.

Kingston confirmed that he suffered tears to his ACL and meniscus as well. They will require surgery.

While Kingston had hoped to be back by AEW's All In: London, his post-surgery recovery will likely mean he will be out closer to nine months. If that timeline stands to be correct, Kingston would be out until January 2025.

In speaking to PWInsider.com tonight, Kingston commented, "This part of the game. Injuries happen. I will be back."

 

[Death By Looch]

Well... fuck

Already looking forward to that return pop though, ngl

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Fucking hell.

 

[Cwalker]

Hell of a lot of injuries. Hopefully surgery goes well and we see him back in January

 

[Roy Mustang]

He is going to miss Wembley

EDDIE KINGSTON HEALTH UPDATE - WILL BE OUT MUCH LONGER THAN EXPECTED | PWInsider.com

www.pwinsider.com

AEW's Eddie Kingston met with surgeons today and due to the nature of his injuries, will likely not go under the knife to repair his ACL and meniscus tears until this July, at the earliest.

Kingston relayed to PWInsider.com that he's been advised that he'll initially have to wait for his tibular frature to heal and do some physical therapy before surgeons can then focus on his knee.

Kingston told PWInsider.com today that after the surgery is completed, he's been advised it will likely be ten months before he'll be able to return to the ring. That would place his comeback, if there are no changes to the expected timeline, at May 2025.

Kingston told PWInsider, "Not mad. I don't give a f***. it's what happens when you wrestle. Just gotta get f**king better."

Well that’s a fucking bummer.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

That return pop gonna hit real good though.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Definitely should be during a run in save also. No idea right now who’s beating who down, as no idea what the company will look like upon the return, but that would be amazing.

This also works! Whatever it is, when his music hits, he’ll definitely get a pretty big pop.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Imagine if he comes out as a mystery partner against the Elite down the line.

 

[Stellar]

Can't keep a tough man down. Eddie will be back for sure. Really sucks that he will be going through this for the next year.

I can already imagine when his music hits and he returns..... Going to be stellar!
