Eddie Kingston is finally back and his first match after a year-long injury layoff is now official.
During the September 13 episode of AEW Collision, Big Bill laid down the challenge for All Out, telling Eddie Kingston to meet him in the ring on September 20 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. This comes one week after Bill called Kingston out on Collision, claiming he was the real toughest guy from New York.
Kingston, whos been sidelined since suffering a torn ACL and meniscus at NJPW Resurgence in May 2024, responded earlier in the week via Instagram, confirming he had already signed the contract on his end. He said he was just waiting on Big Bill to name the location. Now, that location is set All Out.
This will mark Kingstons first match in over a year, closing the chapter on a long and painful road to recovery. Known for his raw intensity and unfiltered style, Kingston is expected to bring a fight when he steps back into the ring against one of AEWs most imposing heavyweights. With the addition of Kingston vs. Big Bill, the updated AEW All Out lineup for September 20 now includes:
- AEW World Champion Hangman Page vs Kyle Fletcher
- Adam Copeland & Christian Cage vs FTR
- Mercedes Mon vs Riho for the TBS Championship
- Unified Championship three-way match (competitors TBA)
- The Hurt Syndicate vs Ricochet & Gates of Agony
- Jon Moxley vs Darby Allin in a coffin match
- Toni Storm vs Thekla vs Jamie Hayter vs Kris Statlander for the AEW Womens World Title
- Willow Nightingale, Mina Shirakawa, Harley Cameron & Queen Aminata vs Julia Hart, Skye Blue, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford
- Tables n Tacks match: MJF vs Mark Briscoe
- Eddie Kingston vs Big Bill
Ticket distribution has crossed 10,000 and continues to grow, with AEW opening additional sections inside Scotiabank Arena. The show is shaping up to deliver one of the most stacked cards in AEWs Canadian history.
