Eddie Kingston made his AEW debut in July 2020, where he squared off against Cody Rhodes for the TNT Championship. While unsuccessful in the match, Kingston impressed many and eventually signed with the company.
Kingston wasted no time establishing himself as one of the best talkers in AEW, as his promos are known to be from the heart and very natural. He is also very passionate when it comes to the pro wrestling world.
Speaking with Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Eddie Kingston talked about his career in AEW and revealed what he is most proud of in his AEW run.
“The most fun I’ve had was teaming up with Jon Moxley. I think that came off when people saw our interviews and saw us together. Beating people up with Mox was fun. Teaming up with Santana and Ortiz was also good. I remember the day they signed with AEW. They were at an independent show with me and told me. I hugged them and was so proud. I remember Santana saying, ‘One day all three of us.’ I told them don’t worry about that and to just do great. They did. Then when we were able to be together [in AEW] it became we set out a goal and did it. That is a proud moment.”
Even Chris Jericho recently stated that Eddie Kingston reminded him of Randy Orton. We will have to wait and see what is next in store for Eddie Kingston in AEW.
