Eddie Kingston Issues Statement After Being Suspended By AEW

Eddie Kingston Issues Statement After Being Suspended By AEW AEW

It was revealed in multiple reports yesterday that AEW Eddie Kingston had served a suspension following a backstage altercation with Sammy Guevara.

According to Dave Meltzer, who was the first to report the suspension, Kingston took exception to something Sammy said during a promo, a promo that would ultimately not air on TV.

Fightful Select added a source had told them Kingston had gone as far as swinging at Guevara during the altercation, and now Kingston has issued a statement to PWInsider in regards to the incident.

He said:

“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.”

It isn’t clear whether Guevara was also suspended as a result of the confrontation, but he was not on last week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.

The two men are still advertised as wrestling on the September 4 All Out show, but Guevara accepting Kingston’s challenge was edited out of a recent episode of AEW Rampage, so perhaps plans have changed.

Either way, we’ll let you know if we hear anything else as soon as possible.
