As previously noted, Eddie Kingston was attacked by The Young Bucks and Jack Perry at the NJPW Resurgence event in Ontario, CA. The Bucks, Perry, and Kazuchika Okada are scheduled to face Kingston, Bryan Danielson, and FTR in an Anarchy in the Arena match at the 2024 AEW Double or Nothing PPV event.

Prior to the angle, Kingston was said to have been legitimately hurt during his match against Gable Kidd. There was a spot where Kidd suplexed Kingston off the apron through a table and Kingston’s leg crashed on the guard rail. Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following about the situation…

“The only thing we heard today is that they [AEW] were crossing their fingers and hoping he’d be okay. There was no word whether he’d be able to do Anarchy in the Arena past they were hoping he could.”

Fightful.com noted that per sources, Kingston “got hurt to some extent” on the suplex spot. It was also stated that Kingston required some assistance and walked with a limp backstage.
