Eddie Kingston challenges Claudio Castagnoli to ROH World title match

Eddie Kingston has issued a challenge to Ring of Honor World Champion Claudio Castagnoli. 

Appearing on this week’s ROH TV episode, Kingston issued the challenge to Castagnoli following Claudio’s main event World title defense against AR Fox. Kingston stated that he had promised Jon Moxley that he would not fight Castagnoli in AEW, but that this was not AEW. 

Castagnoli ignored the challenge from Kingston, but Castagnoli vs. Kingston at Supercard of Honor on March 31 appears to be the direction for the World title program.  

Kingston’s challenge aired one day after an angle on AEW’s Twitter account where Kingston “quit” AEW. Kingston wrestled on both days of ROH’s television tapings last weekend in Orlando.

Kingston’s most recent match on AEW television aired on the January 13 edition of Rampage, where he teamed with Ortiz against Malakai Black and Brody King. Prior to that contest, Kingston’s last televised singles match was on the Full Gear Zero Hour pre-show on November 19, 2022. His last singles match on Dynamite aired on November 9, 2022, where he dropped an AEW World title eliminator tournament bout to Ethan Page.
