Professional wrestling isn’t for the weak as injuries do happen from time to time. Originally Eddie Kingston was set to face off against Artemis Spencer at a DEFY event on Saturday, February 11, but the AEW Star was pulled from the show due to injury. DEFY confirmed Kingston wouldn’t be stepping into the ring when they posted the following:
“DEFY has learned that due to injury EDDIE KINGSTON will no longer be able to compete at tonight’s YEAR6. EDDIE is super bummed and we wish him a speedy recovery. We’ll have him back for a future event! DON’T FEAR, Defyance- a stacked card remains, 6 YEARS LOUD!”
