Eddie Kingston has been out of action since May 2024 after he sustained a severe leg injury during his match with Gabe Kidd at NJPW STRONG Resurgence for the Strong Openweight Championship. He has not been seen in any capacity since then, as he has been recovering from the injury.

There was no mention of The Mad King on TV until last week, when Big Bill brought him up during his promo on AEW Collision. Bill called out Kingston, as they are both New Yorkers, and expressed his desire to face him in the ring. This was a surprising move given that the two do not have any recent history.

Eddie Kingston has already responded to this challenge. He claimed that he had gotten off a phone call, and all the logistics for the match have now been sorted, including the contract being signed. He was waiting for Big Bill to set the venue for this.

Kingston has held 24 titles in his career, winning championships in top companies like AEW, ROH, and NJPW. Bill vs. Kingston is one of the many blockbuster matches set for next weekend's pay-per-view. With there being a week till the show, it remains to be seen if the two come face-to-face before their bout and possibly set the stage for it.
