Eddie Kingston Comments on AEW’s Changes Since He Arrived in 2020 & His Goals for Rest of His Wrestling Career

A recent episode of the Busted Open Radio podcast featured Eddie Kingston as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Kingston’s thoughts about if AEW is still the same place as when he arrived in 2020 for his match against Cody Rhodes.

“No, it’s changed. It’s definitely changed. The roster has changed. The office has changed. All that stuff. Is it changed for good or for bad? That’s not for me to say, because I still get my check. So, to me, it’s good still.”

Kingston also gave his thoughts about the goals he has left for his AEW and wrestling career.

“The most important one for me, because of my love for Japanese wrestling, is just to fight in Budokan Hall — just one time, because that’s where my favorite match happened, 6/3/94 [Mitsuharu] Misawa and [Toshiaki] Kawada.

Being a Tag Champion with Hook or Ortiz is another goal. And honestly, you know what? When you say most important, honestly, this is me not being a good soldier or anything like that, because I can give a f*ck less. This is about the pro wrestling business. I want to see AEW thrive and get better as time goes on and the younger guys learn from guys like [Jon Moxley] and other people. You know what I mean?

I just want the company to be better for when I’m gone. I can say I left it — I left pro wrestling better than when I went in. You know what I mean? I want to be Terry Funk at the end. I want people to say, ‘Eddie tried.’ That’s it.”

Adam Cole Concussion Injury & Potential Return Status Update

As noted before, Adam Cole has been out of action for AEW since this past July due to a concussion injury.

Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp reported in a recent Q&A article that his sources stated that Cole is still dealing with concussion-related issues.

Sapp reported that AEW officials currently do not have any plans for Cole to return nor has his name been discussed for any creative plans. Sapp also reported that AEW CEO Tony Khan wants to keep Cole part of AEW for as long as he can. Cole reportedly has not been on the road for AEW shows due to that would potentially slow down his recovery process.

It is currently not known when Cole might be able to make a potential return to the ring or on AEW television.
