Jon Moxley has achieved major success as a singles competitor in All Elite Wrestling, but earlier this year he was focused on capturing tag team gold when he teamed with Eddie Kingston to challenge The Young Bucks for the AEW Tag Team Titles at Double or Nothing.
Eddie Kingston had been with AEW for almost a year by the time he and Moxley challenged The Young Bucks, but he recently explained to talkSPORT why that match made him feel like he belonged with the promotion.
“After that match with Moxley against The Young Bucks (at Double or Nothing), for the first time, I felt like I belonged in AEW. It was because of that match. And also because we had 5,000 people in Daily’s Place and that was my first time in front of an AEW crowd really.”
“Before Jon kicked the door open, he looked over at me and said ‘get ready to be over.’ I said ‘what did you say motherf*****?’ And he kicked the door open and we just went! It was definitely a career highlight. But being in there with Jon? Come on, man, that’s my boy. It’s huge. He’s the man. He’s my man.”
Eddie Kingston will be in action during this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite when he teams with Santana and Ortiz to take on 2.0 and Daniel Garcia. Stay tuned for updates.
