Eddie Kingston expected to be out until May 2025

Eddie Kingston could be out of action longer than expected.

Kingston suffered not only a broken leg at NJPW Resurgence earlier this month, but also a tibular fracture and a torn ACL and meniscus.

It was originally reported that he would be out of action for nine months following surgery. However, Kingston told PWInsider that after meeting with surgeons on Thursday, he’s learned he won’t be able to get the surgery he needs until July at the earliest. This pushes his timeline for return back to May 2025.

Kingston says he’s been told he needs to wait for his tibular fracture to heal and do physical therapy before doctors can operate on his knee.

The 42-year-old was injured during his No Ropes/Last Man Standing match with Gabe Kidd on the NJPW pay-per-view. He took a suplex through a table on the outside and hit his leg on the guardrail. Kingston took part in a post-match angle with Jack Perry and the Young Bucks, who would later take credit for causing his injury as part of their storyline in AEW.
