"That's some grown man stuff" – AEW's Eddie Kingston opens up about former WWE star's absence

Eddie Kingston gave his thoughts on his friend Jon Moxley's recent absence from AEW.

Jon Moxley has been away from AEW programming since late October after voluntarily entering a program to treat addiction to alcohol.

In an interview with Inside The Ropes, Kingston admitted that what Jon Moxley did was the right thing, and he's very proud of him:

"That was real man stuff right there. He understood his family’s number one so that’s grown man stuff. You gotta think about it like this man, like, what’s wrong with being honest with people? There’s so much stuff now on social media and this and that, you can’t hide anything anyway. Let’s be honest and if people accept it then they accept, and if they don’t, they don’t, but you gotta do what’s right for you, and thats the end of it. I’m proud of him, very proud of him."
