The announcement made by Eddie Kingston on the latest episode of Dynamite has left many fans wondering whether it was work or shoot. Kingston said that he has quit AEW. However, it appears that the announcement was just part of the storyline, as the star has already made an appearance in another promotion owned by Tony Khan.
It's possible that Eddie Kingston is being shifted from AEW to ROH to help boost the brand, as Tony Khan is the owner of both promotions. Kingston recently made an appearance at ROH Tapings and challenged Claudio Castagnoli, the current ROH World Champion, for the title.
Kingston also expressed dissatisfaction with AEW during an interview. This has led to speculation that his announcement of quitting the Jacksonville-based promotion was just part of a storyline.
Eddie Kingston's outspoken nature has caused some rocky moments during his time in AEW, including a suspension last year, but he remains a popular wrestler who could help boost ROH's popularity and viewership.
The reason for The Mad King's announcement is unclear. Is it possible that Tony Khan orchestrated Kingston's announcement of quitting AEW to generate buzz as part of a storyline?
