An AEW star has opened up about potentially missing Forbidden Door 2025, believing that he won’t be able to wrestle at the event.
Eddie Kingston has been out of action since suffering a leg injury in May 2024 which required him to have surgery that July.
While Kingston recently confirmed that he has returned to in-ring training, the absent star doesn’t believe he’ll be cleared in time to wrestle at AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door on August 24.
Speaking with Cezar Bononi, Kingston named several Japanese wrestlers he’d love to share the ring with.
Discussing his status for Forbidden Door, Kingston said:
“I am disappointed that it looks like, I’m just saying it now, it looks like I’m not going to be able to do Forbidden Door again.
“Everybody else has their favorites, you know what I mean? And my favorite was always Forbidden Door.
“The Japanese dudes are my dudes. I wanted to fight Shingo (Takagi) or Yuya (Uemura), which is one of the young lions they got there that’s coming up in the game.
“I would love to fight Shota (Umino). There’s so many. Taichi. I would love to fight Taichi because he was trained by Kawada. Everyone knows my history with Toshiaki Kawada-san.
“Hopefully, this comes out and I’m wrong and I’m actually at Forbidden Door fighting somebody.”
