Eddie Kingston's Status For AEW Forbidden Door 2025 Revealed

Eddie Kingston missed last year’s Forbidden Door PPV event due to picking up an injury earlier on in 2024, which has ruled him out long-term from the ring, with his time away now totalling 15 months. ‘The Mad King’ suffered a fractured tibia and torn ACL during a match with NJPW’s Gabe Kidd. Earlier in August, Kingston revealed that he’d finally begun in-ring training. Another update has revealed his status for Forbidden Door 2025.

Kingston spoke on Cezar Bononi’s podcast and revealed that he’d be missing Forbidden Door for the second year in a row. 

“I am disappointed that it looks like, I’m just saying it now, it looks like I’m not going to be able to do Forbidden Door again. Everybody else has their favorites, you know what I mean? And my favorite was always Forbidden Door. The Japanese dudes are my dudes. I wanted to fight Shingo (Takagi) or Yuya (Uemura), which is one of the young lions they got there that’s coming up in the game. I would love to fight Shota (Umino). There’s so many. Taichi. I would love to fight Taichi because he was trained by Kawada. Everyone knows my history with Toshiaki Kawada-san. Hopefully, this comes out and I’m wrong and I’m actually at Forbidden Door fighting somebody.”

During Kingston’s recovery, he’d also suffered from stomach issues.
