Eddie Kingston Outlines AEW Retirement Plans (AEW News)
Just how long does Kingston have left on his AEW contract? The man himself speaks.
Eddie Kingston has told Gabby AF that he has a whopping 6 years left on his current deal with Tony Khan's AEW. That, in theory, means that the spirited brawler could be part of All Elite's product until at least 2031. Of course, this is barring serious injury layoffs or either party deciding to cut that agreement short.
Anything can happen in pro wrestling, let's be honest.
During the interview, Eddie revealed his unique retirement plan: "I want to make my money and then buy a place in Alaska and get the f*** away from society". This news was delivered in typical Kingston style. No punches pulled, no frills and brutal honesty.
He then added that he'd be cool with the loneliness provided he could still watch his favourite New York sports teams like the Giants and Rangers in the NFL and NHL respectively. Putting a bow on his plan, Eddie then said: "Leave me alone". Fair enough!
Kingston recently lost an AEW World Title match against reigning champ Samoa Joe on the company's 'Winter Is Coming' episode of Dynamite on 10 December. That, for reference, was Eddie's first World Title shot since returning from injury.
The 43 year old has had some tasty moments under Khan's roof - he became first ever AEW Continental Champ by virtue of winning the inaugural Continental Classic tournament in 2023. Kingston has also been ROH World Champion and has held New Japan's Strong Openweight Title too.
Get ready to toast another 6 years of Eddie as #AllElite. After that, he's off to Alaska.
