Eddie Kingston Accepts Challenge for Return Match After Over a Year Away

Eddie Kingston has been on the shelf since suffering an injury at NJPW Resurgence last year. While he’s been away, Big Bill ended up calling him out for a match on Collision last week and now Kingston has made it clear he’s ready to make his in-ring return.

Kingston took to his Instagram story and responded to Big Bill’s challenge and confirmed his return to AEW after injury. He said the deal is finalized, the contract is signed, and now he’s simply waiting for Big Bill to name the location for their match.

“So got the phone call and the money is right—contract is signed on my end. So Big Bill, you dumb goofy bastard, just send the location.”

During the September 7th edition of AEW Collision, Big Bill specifically called out Eddie Kingston and made it clear he is the toughest guy from New York and wants a piece of Kingston.

It’s been a very long and hard road to recovery for Eddie Kingston but now it’s been made apparent Kingston is more than ready for his return. With AEW Collision taking place soon, we’ll have to wait and see if Kingston will finally make his triumphant return for the first time in more than a year.
