As noted before, Eddie Kingston has been out of action for AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling since May of 2024 due to a broken leg, torn ACL, and torn meniscus injuries and surgery. Kingston recently resumed training for his in-ring return in the future.
In a recently released new training video posted by former AEW talent Cezar Bononi on his YouTube channel, Kingston provided an update on his training for his in-ring return stating that he currently believes that he will not be able to return in time and will miss AEW and NJPW’s Forbidden Door event for the second year in a row.
“I am disappointed that it looks like, I’m just saying it now, it looks like I’m not going to be able to do Forbidden Door again. My thing is, everybody else has their favorites, and my favorite was always Forbidden Door. It’s shit I like to do. That’s the shit I like. For me, Forbidden Door will always be the big one. The Japanese dudes are my dudes. I wanted to fight Shingo (Takagi), Yuya (Uemura), Shota (Umino), Taichi. There are so many. Missing it, as of right now, missing it two years in a row sucks. Hopefully, this comes out and I’m wrong and I’m actually at Forbidden Door.”
