Eddie Kingston will not be appearing at tonight’s AEW Dynamite taping in Denver — and he’s also off the schedule for independent events this weekend due to health concerns.

According to PWInsider.com, Kingston has been dealing with severe migraine headaches and is prioritizing his health. The issue has forced him to withdraw from multiple commitments, including appearances outside of AEW.

Kingston had been scheduled for a seminar and meet and greet hosted by Pro Wrestling Junkies alongside Ortiz. However, organizers confirmed on X that he will no longer be participating. The announcement made it clear the decision was medical. Refunds are already being processed for fans who purchased meet and greet access.

“Unfortunately, due to medical reasons, Eddie Kingston will not be attending any shows this week. We wish him a speedy recovery.”

“All Eddie Kingston meet and greet money will be refunded today.”

As for the seminar, Ortiz is still willing to move forward with it at no charge for those who want to attend.

“For the seminar, if you still want to attend the seminar with Ortiz, he is willing to do it for free. If you reserve a spot and no longer want to attend, please let me know as soon as possible.”

Kingston’s absence from AEW Dynamite and the independent circuit is strictly health-related, with migraines reportedly being the issue. There is currently no timetable for his return, but the hope is that rest will allow him to recover quickly.

Migraine-related issues can be debilitating, and pulling back from events may be the necessary step to prevent further complications.
