Summary

Eddie Kingston stirred attention with a series of cryptic posts, but he later made clear there was no deeper issue behind them.

After hinting at frustration over the state of wrestling and respect in locker rooms, Kingston later said he was simply messing around because he was bored. He also said he is happy teaming with Ortiz and enjoying the chance to work with younger talent.

That explanation lines up with the version of Kingston AEW fans know well, outspoken, unpredictable, and often impossible to ignore, much like when Renee Paquette recently described him as her favorite person backstage in AEW.

Quote from Eddie Kingston

Kingston later clarified that he was not upset and said:

"I just did it to be a dick because I'm bored. I'm happy as fuck I get to team with someone as loyal as fuck as I am in Ortiz. We get to wrestle Tommy Billington, Adam Priest, Oliver and Price. That shit is fun to me. I like fighting the younger kids. I ain't mad at all"

What this means for Eddie Kingston in AEW and ROH

Kingston naming Ortiz and his recent ROH matches matters more than the original posts. The bigger takeaway is that he framed this stretch of his run around tag work, ROH appearances, and matches against younger opponents, not any real frustration boiling over.

He also has not wrestled on AEW television since early February, so his comments help explain where his focus has been lately. Based on what he said here, Kingston seems more interested in the work he is getting across ROH and the independents than in signaling any behind-the-scenes issue.
