AEW’s Eddie Kingston is known for being one of the toughest guys in the business, but even The Mad King isn’t invincible. After suffering a broken leg, torn meniscus, and torn ACL during his no-rope last-man-standing match against Gabe Kidd at NJPW Resurgence, Kingston has been on the mend.
The injury happened when his leg struck the barricade during a suplex, leading to him losing the NJPW Strong Openweight Title. To make matters worse, after the match, he was ambushed by The Young Bucks following a heated confrontation with Jack Perry.
Now, in addition to recovering from his injuries, Kingston has been battling stress-induced stomach issues. Speaking with PWInsider.com, Kingston didn’t hold back about what’s been going on behind the scenes.
“I just f–ked it up from stress and got meds for it,” he admitted. “It is getting better and better every day. You can quote me here: I was stressed out about dumb sh– I can’t control. So I f–ked up my stomach being an a–hole, but I’m trying to get better and I will get better.”
Kingston got even more real about how the situation has affected him mentally.
“As of late, I have been up and down and up and down. It was a normal day for me. I just don’t have certain things that I use to get my aggression out. This has been the longest I have ever been from my lady, pro wrestling. This is as honest as I can be, Mike.”
Despite the setbacks, Kingston is expected to be cleared for an in-ring return this summer. With all the built-up frustration, fans can only imagine the fire he’ll bring once he finally steps back between the ropes.
