Eddie Kingston Explains Why He Deleted His Twitter

Eddie Kingston’s recent decision to leave AEW and focus on a run in Tony Khan’s Ring of Honor generated a lot of buzz in the professional wrestling world. The Mad King remains a fan-favorite in both AEW and ROH. That being said, he recently deleted his Twitter account and now it seems the reason has been revealed.

OTT Wrestling took to Twitter and announced that Eddie Kingston tested positive for COVID and had to miss the OTT events, including ScrapperMania 7. However, things did not end there either.

As previously reported, Eddie Kingston deleted his Twitter account shortly after being pulled from the event. Naturally, fans started wondering why Eddie Kingston did such a thing.

Eddie Kingston took to his Instagram recently and revealed that he deactivated his Twitter account after seeing all the ‘evil sh*t’ directed towards Riho on Twitter in the past week.

Terry Funk is the G.O.A.T. I got rid of my tweeter because I saw some evil sh*t tweeted at Riho and I’m done.

AEW’s former Women’s World Champion Riho deactivated her account upon returning to the organization, causing many fans to worry. However, she has been making frequent appearances on AEW TV and even expressed gratitude for the support she has received on Instagram.

Following the March 1st episode of AEW Dynamite, Eddie Kingston announced that he was “quitting” the company. However, he resurfaced on ROH television and is currently embroiled in a feud with the ROH World Champion, Claudio Castagnoli. We’ll have to see when Kingston will recover and continue his feud with Castagnoli.
