Eddie Kingston is back and hes not holding anything back when it comes to the so-called war between wrestling promotions.
Ahead of his return match at AEW All Out this Saturday, Kingston spoke with CBS Sports and urged fans to stop choosing sides between AEW and WWE and just enjoy wrestling as a whole. Kingston made it clear that any trash talk he throws at WWE is just part of the game, not personal.
He mentioned that his comments are just locker room fun, not actual beef especially because some of his real-life friends work in WWE.
For Kingston, wrestling should be about having fun not drawing lines in the sand.
He also reflected on growing up during the 1990s boom period and pointed out that if he had only watched WWE back then, he wouldve missed out on the legendary nWo, the iconic WCW cruiserweights, and ECWs hardcore revolution.
Kingston is set to face Big Bill at All Out the very same day as WWEs WrestlePalooza but hes not caught up in the war narrative. In fact, hes a bit baffled that AEW sees him as a key part of counterprogramming.
Whether youre tuning in for All Out or WrestlePalooza, Kingstons message is clear: stop acting like its one side or the other enjoy it all.
