Eddie Kingston Injury Update
Eddie Kingston Injury Update: Why He Hasn’t Been Cleared Yet. AEW star Eddie Kingston has given fans an important update on his injury status. Speaking on Cezar Bononi’s YouTube channel, Kingston opened up about his recovery process and explained why he has not been cleared to wrestle just yet.
Kingston Says He Feels Ready, But Doctors Disagree
Kingston admitted that although he feels mentally and physically ready to step back inside the ring, the final decision is not up to him. Doctors and physical therapists are still monitoring his progress. “Everything takes time. I’m not cleared yet,” Kingston explained.
Strength Loss Delays His Clearance
The former AEW World Champion contender said he has been doing practice sparring matches and feels capable of performing. However, during his physical therapy sessions, specialists noted that his strength had dropped. This was due to him focusing more on agility work rather than strength training.
“They said, ‘Oh, your strength went down.’ So now it’s about balancing things out. I still have six sessions of PT that I want to do,” Kingston added. He stressed that the medical team’s job is to ensure he is one hundred percent before an official return.
“It’s a Business, It Happens”
For Kingston, the delay is not about his personal desire to wrestle but about ensuring everything is safe and professional. “It’s not just me being ready to rock and roll. It’s nobody’s fault. And it’s a business. It happens,” he stated.
Fans Will Know When the Time Comes
The New York native emphasized that when the time comes, fans will be the first to know. “When I get cleared, when the fight’s booked, when everything’s good to go, you will know,” Kingston promised. His comments show both honesty and patience, traits that have always connected him strongly with wrestling audiences.
A Void in AEW Programming
Kingston’s injury has left a noticeable gap in AEW programming. Known for his hard-hitting style, fiery promos, and authenticity, he quickly became a fan favorite. His absence has been felt not only by viewers but also by fellow wrestlers who see him as a locker-room leader.
Focused on Recovery and Return
Despite setbacks, Kingston has stayed positive. His focus remains on completing the remaining therapy sessions and regaining lost strength. Fans can expect that once cleared, Kingston will return with the same passion that has defined his career.
Patience Until the Comeback
For now, patience is the key. Injuries are part of the wrestling business, and Kingston understands the importance of listening to medical professionals. He made it clear that while he feels ready, safety must always come first.
The timeline for his AEW return remains uncertain, but Kingston’s determination is clear. He is committed to healing the right way and coming back stronger. With his loyal fanbase behind him, anticipation for his comeback continues to grow each week.
