Eddie Kingston is working hard on his recovery from the multitude of injuries he suffered earlier in the year but the latest reports suggest that he'll not be back in the ring anytime soon.
The Mad King last competed during the NJPW Strong Resurgence event in May this year. Kingston dropped the NJPW Strong Openweight Title to Gabe Kidd at the show.
The AEW star suffered a tibial fracture, a torn ACL, and a torn meniscus in this match, putting him on the shelf for a prolonged period.
PWinsider recently provided an update on Eddie Kingston's status. They noted that the 42-year-old is 'furiously pushing himself' through physical therapy in hopes of getting back into the ring as soon as possible.
Despite his best efforts, however, the former ROH Champion is not expected back anytime soon. His doctors have warned him that he'll likely not be cleared to compete until June 2025. When the site reached out to him for a comment, Eddie simply said 'Health insurance is a scam.'
Eddie Kingston is one of the names who was helped by the inception of AEW. Having wrestled for many indie promotions since his debut in 2002, Kingston was contemplating retirement before being signed by AEW in 2020.
His mic skills and fighting spirit have helped make the wrestling star one of the most loved names of the AEW roster since then and there are many who are waiting for his return to the ring.
