Eddie Kingston is back.
He may have "quit" AEW on March 1 to join ROH, but he returned to AEW on the June 14 episode of AEW Dynamite to get involved in the battle between Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, & Claudio Castagnoli) and The Elite (The Young Bucks & Hangman Page).
Kingston focused his energy on Claudio Castagnoli, who defeated him to retain the ROH World Title at ROH Supercard of Honor. Despite helping The Elite by attacking Claudio, Kingston did not go after Jon Moxley when they came face-to-face.
Things continued to break down as Konosuke Takeshita hit the ring to help Blackpool Combat Club, but he was greeted by a returning Kenny Omega.
After Omega took out Takesita with a v-trigger, he was caught off guard by Will Ospreay. Ospreay blasted Omega with a superkick, storm breaker, and hidden blade.

Kingston has been sidelined since ROH Supercard of Honor with a hernia injury. Omega had been off television since AEW Double or Nothing 2023 with Hangman Page saying he was handling things, but wasn't in Canada. Ospreay is set to face Omega at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2 for the IWGP US Title.
Ospreay will also be in action on the June 16 episode of AEW Rampage.
Here is the updated lineup for Friday's AEW Rampage:
