Eddie Kingston regroups after his loss on AEW Collision.
On the November 25 episode of AEW Collision, Eddie Kingston lost to Brody King in an AEW Continental Classic Blue League Match. Kingston's ROH World Championship and NJPW STRONG Openweight Championships are on the line in the tournament, so he is now facing an uphill battle in his quest to retain the gold.
AEW shared Kingston's post-match comments on social media, and he admitted that he may have been too cocky heading into the tournament.
“What do you want me to say? I knew this was gonna be tough. Tony Khan didn’t put any scrubs in this tournament. Maybe I came in too arrogant, too cocky. Thinking, ‘Oh, because I put the belts in the pot that I was given…Like I deserved to win.’ No one deserves anything. Everything’s earned. I got Bryan next, and now I’m behind the eight ball. I’m not gonna do this. I’m not gonna go…I’m not doing it. I’m not gonna go back, no. Humble in victory, humble in defeat. I got Bryan next. I gotta go heal up, Epsom salt bath, all that good stuff. I’ll be ready for Bryan, I will," Kingston said.
As Kingston noted, he is set to face Bryan Danielson on the December 2 episode of AEW Collision. More information is available here.
