Eddie Kingston Returns to AEW and Dedicates Continental Cup Campaign to Fans

Eddie Kingston made a notable return to AEW programming on August 8 during the episode of AEW Collision, where he eliminated Jake Doyle from the Continental Challenge Cup.

Prior to this match, Kingston had not appeared on AEW television since February 7, when he participated in a Parking Lot Fight alongside Ortiz and The Rascalz against the Grizzled Young Veterans, Bryan Keith, and Big Bill. This earlier match marked Big Bill's final AEW appearance before his recent return to WWE.

Backstage, Kingston expressed gratitude to his fans for their support during his absence, stating that their encouragement motivated him to return. He revealed that he had personally contacted Tony Khan to request entry into the Continental Challenge Cup, aiming to replicate his success as the first winner of the Continental Classic in 2023. Kingston emphasized that his participation in the tournament is dedicated to the fans who inspired him while he was away.
