A questionable spot during his match at New Japan Resurgence last weekend (being suplex-ed through a table from the apron while handcuffed to Gabe Kidd) left Eddie Kingston with a knee injury, but there’d been no word Beyond that, AEW was hopeful he would be well enough for Double or Nothing the next weekend. Kingston was scheduled to compete in an arena anarchy versus The Elite as a member of Team AEW alongside Bryan Danielson and FTR.
These aspirations appear to have been dashed by the medical personnel, based on the way the issue was handled on the May 15 Dynamite. Eddie’s injury was attributed to a post-match attack at Resurgence by The Young Bucks & Jack Perry, which made narrative sense. All in all, Team AEW will be lacking personnel for the May 26 PPV in Las Vegas.
In another interview segment shortly after that one, FTR’s Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler of course confirmed that Team AEW won’t be forfeiting. Wheeler also hinted at the squad already having identified a replacement for Kingston.
