Eddie Kingston Planned On Teaming Up With Jon Moxley From The Start

Eddie Kingston made his AEW debut back in July of last year, where he faced off against Cody Rhodes for the TNT Championship. While he was unsuccessful in the match, Kingston impressed many and signed with the company.

For the majority of his time in AEW, Eddie Kingston has been linked with Jon Moxley as the two have a lot of history during their time in the independent circuit. They fought for the AEW Championship at AEW Full Gear last year and are now a tag team.

While conducting a Q&A session on Ad Free Shows, Kingston was asked when the idea of teaming up together with Jon Moxley came about. Eddie Kingston revealed that he planning on teaming up with Moxley as soon as he made his way to AEW.

“Me and Mox talked about this as soon as I got there. I owe a lot of my AEW career to Mox because he believed in me and he’s always believed in me. I was always that guy who is like, ‘Ahhh, get out of here.’ Mox always believed in me and saw the match with Cody. Even before the match with Cody, he was trying to amp me up. This was the whole plan from, maybe not the get-go because plans change, but I owe Mox a lot. The stuff with me and Mox is on the fly because that’s how we are normally. We argue all the time.”
