Eddie Kingston provides injury update, says he’s ‘starting to get itchy at home’

Eddie Kingston provided an injury update during a recent interview.

Kingston suffered a broken leg, a tibular fracture, a torn ACL, and a strained meniscus at NJPW Resurgence on May 11, 2024, when he was suplexed through a table in a no-ropes Last Man Standing match against Gabe Kidd. It is believed he had surgery in July. He’s hoping to return by May 2025.

When speaking about his recovery on The DAVINci Report, Kingston also expressed frustration with his insurance company.

“It’s been a process. It’s going good until my insurance acts up, and then that’s when I get annoyed,” Kingston said. “Insurance is a fraud, folks. Just throwing that out there.”

Kingston also said he’s starting to get “itchy” now that he’s able to walk and workout more.

“I’m starting to get itchy at home. I’m starting to get like, ‘Alright.’ Because I can walk now a little bit. I can walk, I can lift weights now and I can do squats a little bit, not too low. Now it’s at the point of, ‘Alright, let’s hurry this up, let’s get going.'”

However, one thing Kingston feels grateful for currently is that he’s still financially taken care of while injured.

“There’s days where mentally I’m defeated but there are other times when I go, ‘Look man, I remember getting injured on the indies and not being able to pay for anything.’ I’m blessed to be part of a company that is still helping me out during my injury. I still get those direct deposits, you know what I mean?”

Kingston also discusses the video games he’s been playing since getting injured and his current thoughts on New York sports teams. His full appearance on the show is available below.
