The Elite have just revealed that a top AEW star could be out for the foreseeable future and he won't be around for his match at Double or Nothing, taking place in less than two weeks. This would be Eddie Kingston.

The Mad King was set to be part of Team AEW, along with FTR and Bryan Danielson, as they face Team Elite in an Anarchy in the Arena Match. However, he seemed to have suffered an injury a few weeks before the pay-per-view.

At NJPW Resurgence last weekend, Kingston seemingly suffered a knee injury during his match against Gabe Kidd and there was real concern that it was a serious one.

After the match, he was also attacked by The Young Bucks and Jack Perry and they took credit for putting him out of action. They also revealed tonight on AEW Dynamite that he won't be around for the Anarchy in the Arena Match and they'll need to find a replacement for him.

Moments later, FTR addressed the situation and claimed that no matter how much of a handicap they would be in, there was no way that they would forfeit the match. They then revealed that they might have found their fourth man. It remains to be seen when this mystery star will be revealed.

He is currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Multimedia Studies, which influenced his decision of taking up sports writing professionally, and has been an avid fan of the athletic theater since childhood. He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.

Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
