Eddie Kingston: MJF Is Scared To Face Me, I Want To Fight Claudio Castagnoli

Eddie Kingston is back in the fold in All Elite Wrestling following a hernia surgery, and he has his sights set on some top stars.

Speaking with Joseph Staszewski of The New York Post, Kingston was asked what he hopes to do now that he’s back and whether he has any plans. Kingston was quick to say that AEW World Champion MJF is “scared” to fight him, and has been “scared his whole life.”

“MJF is scared to fight me, Kingston said. “Not even to fight me. That kid has been scared his whole life,” said Kingston. “That’s been proven by the way he won the championship and the way he defends it. I’m not hating because I haven’t always been Mr. Upstanding Citizen and I probably do dirty things in the ring.

“I’ll probably do dirty things at Forbidden Door, too. I know backstage, I know those people don’t see. MJF has been a scared child since he broke into the business. So maybe when somebody finally dethrones him I’ll finally get a title shot.”

Kingston went on to note that he would like to fight longtime rival ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli as well. She stated that he loves “hurting” Castagnoli, and that he wants to wage war with the champion.

“Do I want to fight Claudio, yea. For the title or not, I love fighting Claudio,” Kingston said. “I love hurting him. If I can’t fight. If I don’t have a war I feel useless as a human being. It’s a weird thing. I’m trying to work on my mental stuff, maybe that’s one of the things I have to work through.”
