Eddie Kingston Comments On AEW Suspension: "I Was Wrong For Being Unprofessional"
Having served an AEW suspension for a backstage altercation with Sammy Guevara, Kingston speaks.
It emerged overnight that Eddie Kingston recently completed a suspension from All Elite Wrestling, having reportedly taken a swing at feud partner Sammy Guevara after the Jericho Appreciation Society member had made an off-colour comment about his physique.
Kingston and Guevara had originally been booked to wrestle at All Out 2022 on 4 September. Whether or not that match will go ahead is currently unclear, though the storyline continues through Ruby Soho and Ortiz vs. Guevara and Tay Melo on Friday's AEW Rampage.
Eddie has now commented on the situation. Speaking with PWInsider, who reported that Kingston and Sammy had to be separated backstage, the fan favourite said the following:-
"You know the truth. I wouldn't lie. I was wrong for being unprofessional. That is the blind fact. He did what he did and the public can judge that but I know for a fact I was wrong."
Whether or not Guevara was suspended following the incident is unclear. Although Sammy wasn't at last week's television tapings, his and Melo's match with Ortiz and Soho was taped last night.
There is currently no word on when Kingston will return to television.
