The All Elite Wrestling (AEW) universe is reeling after news broke that one of its top stars, Eddie Kingston, suffered a legitimate injury during a recent match. The injury has cast a shadow of uncertainty over Kingston’s immediate future and has sparked concerns about his participation in the highly anticipated Anarchy in the Arena match at AEW Double or Nothing.
Kingston, a fan favorite and one of the most popular stars on the AEW roster, has had an incredible year, winning the Continental Crown, ROH World Championship, and NJPW Strong Openweight Championship. Although he has lost all his titles recently, Kingston remains a force to be reckoned with in the ring.
The injury occurred during a NJPW Strong Openweight Championship No Rope Last Man Standing match against Gabe Kidd, where Kingston’s leg hit the barricade hard after a suplex off the apron. According to Bryan Alvarez on the Wrestling Observer Radio, Kingston was legitimately hurt during the match.
As a result, Kingston’s status for the Anarchy in the Arena match at AEW Double or Nothing, where he was slated to team up with FTR and Bryan Danielson as part of Team AEW, is now uncertain. The match, announced by Kenny Omega on Dynamite, pits Team AEW against The Elite and Jack Perry. With Kingston’s injury, the team’s dynamics and strategy may need to be reevaluated.
The AEW community is holding its breath, waiting to see if Kingston will be cleared to compete in the match. Will he be able to recover in time, or will Team AEW need to find a replacement? The uncertainty surrounding Kingston’s injury has added an extra layer of intrigue to an already highly anticipated match.
As the medical team assesses Kingston’s condition, fans can only hope that the beloved wrestler will be back in the ring, doing what he does best, at AEW Double or Nothing. Until then, the wrestling world will be on high alert, waiting for any updates on Kingston’s status.
