Eddie Kingston Gives Public Comment On AEW Suspension
Eddie Kingston has publicly commented on his AEW suspension.
Fightful Select reported that Kingston was briefly suspended by the company after not appearing on television following his challenge to Sammy Guevara for AEW All Out. According to the report, “Rumors among talent that we’ve heard about said that Guevara and Kingston had developed heat and it devolved into an ‘altercation.’ The word backstage was that Guevara made a comment about Kingston’s physique, and Kingston took a swing at him. We’ve not confirmed that with anyone that witnessed it, and reached out to both parties.”
Both Kingston and Guevara have statements to Fightful regarding the incident. Fans can view those statements on Fightful Select.
Taking to social media, Kingston issued a public comment.
Last thing I will say about my suspension. I was wrong in the wrong for touching another man’s face. Let it go!

Fightful Select reported “In the edited out promo, Sammy Guevara referred to Kingston as a ‘fat piece of shit,’ which Kingston took exception to as he felt it buried the match if a ‘fat piece of shit’ beat him.”
Kingston posted the following tweet, seemingly referencing the promo.
“Never totally bury your opponent.” This is one of the first lessons about promos that Chris Jericho learned according to his first book “A Lions Tale: Around the World in Spandex” pic.twitter.com/yjiJcUvJ1j

He also shot back at Disco Inferno, who commented about weight shaming.
You never did the work and the boys kept you around to laugh at you. I remember hearing the story where big show farted in your face. You ain’t a man. https://t.co/W2TOWk72Pl

Not going to lie I still enjoy watching disco on @WrestlingBios reliving the war every Thursday. As I eat @FiveGuys and ice cream. https://t.co/7WtQHpZ668

In the end, Kingston just wants to talk about wrestling.
AEW did a mil in ratings right? Let’s talk about that. Let’s talk about how Mox ripped the head of a snake on live TV. Let’s talk about how great my best friend penta match was.

It is unknown when Kingston will return to AEW television.
Guevara is set to team with Tay Melo on Friday’s AEW Rampage against Ruby Soho & Ortiz.
