Speaking on The DAVINci Report, Kingston commented on the current state of AEW.

"To be honest, AEW right now doesn't really need me at this point in time. In my opinion, with what's going on. They are doing their thing. I think having me around right now may mess up some plans, which I like doing, but also trying to be a company guy. I'm trying. You don't want to mess up the plans too much. Especially when it's good. I don't know what's going on with [Jon Moxley]. I haven't talked to him in three or four months. I don't know what's going on with him with this whole Darby (Allin) thing. I knew something was up because we text each other at least once or twice a week, just funny stuff, nothing about wrestling. A funny meme or a stupid Instagram thing, just to make each other laugh. He's doing his thing. I have nothing against what he's doing. (I'm) not needed right now, I don't think," he said.

Jon Moxley is set to face Darby Allin at AEW Dynamite Grand Slam. The winner will earn a shot at Bryan Danielson and the AEW World Title.
