AEW star Eddie Kingston announces ‘last indy run’
By this time next year, Eddie Kingston will no longer be working indie dates.
The AEW star announced last night that he is on his “final indy run.” Kingston has shows coming up this weekend for Beyond Wrestling in Rhode Island and Pro Wrestling Junkie in New Jersey. After those events, he will be taking only one indie booking per month until November 2026 — when he will be done working indie dates.
“So this is my last indy run. Doing beyond and a show in Jersey this weekend,” Kingston announced on social media. “After that I am taking only one show a month. By next November I am done with the indies and yeah nothing more too it. As of now I [have] December and March, April, May.”
Kingston signed with AEW in 2020 but has continued to take semi-regular indie bookings since then.
At AEW All Out this September, Kingston made his return to the ring after being sidelined for more than a year due to a torn ACL and broken leg that he suffered at an NJPW show in May 2024.
The 43-year-old Kingston recently told Busted Open Radio that his remaining goals in wrestling include competing at Budokan Hall in Japan, as well as winning the AEW Tag team titles with either Hook or Ortiz. But more than anything, Kingston just wants to leave the industry in a better place than when he entered it.
Kingston is set for Beyond Wrestling’s Novembercanrana event in Cranston, Rhode Island this Friday. He’ll then be in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey on Sunday for Pro Wrestling Junkie’s Damaged Goods 3.
