Eddie Kingston and former AEW Tag Team Champion's return date possibly revealed - Reports

AEW has been hit with a slight injury bug at the start of 2022. Two of the company's heavy hitters, Eddie Kingston and Rey Fenix, were struck down right as the company debuted on TBS. However, this dark injury cloud seems to have a silver lining.

Kingston was hurt during a set of AEW Dark tapings at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Kingston has been instrumental in Dark's success as both a performer and as a coach.

Rey Fenix, on the other hand, has been on the shelf since the conclusion of AEW Dynamite's debut on TBS. The now former tag team champion was choke-slammed by Luchasaurus through a table outside the ring, and he landed badly on his arm.

Fortunately for fans, and of course the wrestlers involved, an update from Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio showed signs of promise. Eddie Kingston will be sidelined for around three weeks, while Fenix is expected to be back in the ring as early as mid-February.

Based on this report, it seems that both men will be back in time for AEW's next big pay-per-view event, Revolution on March 6th.

AEW's Eddie Kingston is currently feuding with Chris Jericho

Though he has been unable to compete, Kingston is still firmly embroiled in a storyline on AEW programming. He has been engaged in a brewing rivalry with Chris Jericho in recent weeks.

The conflict between the two stars has put Santana and Ortiz in the middle of a tense situation. The duo are torn between siding with their Inner Circle stablemate or supporting their long-time friend from the independent scene.

Santana and Ortiz will get a chance to prove their loyalty to Chris Jericho this Wednesday on the "Beach Break" edition of AEW Dynamite. The three men will team up to take on the trio of 2point0 and Daniel Garcia.
