Eddie Kingston didn't make his AEW debut until July. But he has emerged as one of the company's breakout Superstars of 2020. He first appeared on the scene on the July 22 episode of AEW Dynamite, where he answered Cody Rhodes' TNT Championship open challenge.

Before the match started, Kingston cut a brilliant promo that immediately captured the fans' attention. Kingston failed to defeat "The American Nightmare", but he left such an impact that the fans immediately started lobbying for AEW to sign "The Mad King." And just like that, the promotion ended up signing Kingston on July 31.

Over the next five months, Kingston embarked on the run of his career. He continued to deliver jaw-dropping promos on a weekly basis. Shortly after AEW All Out 2020, he entered the AEW World Championship picture. He competed in the main event of AEW Full Gear 2020, where he unsuccessfully challenged Jon Moxley for AEW's top prize.

Kingston doesn't have a title around his waist. But he is still wreaking havoc on the AEW roster, as he's currently feuding with Lance Archer, PAC, and the Lucha Bros.
