Speaking on Thursday's ROH TV, Kingston revealed that he went into the match with a hernia injury, which he's been dealing with since September, and he likely needs surgery. It is unknown how long he will be out of action.

Kingston was scheduled to wrestle for NJPW at Collision in Philadelphia, but was pulled due to injury and replaced by Orange Cassidy.

Kingston said Claudio and his aggressiveness were the reasons for the injury. He also reflected on his bout with Claudio, saying he didn't stick to the gameplan and turned back into a fighter during the bout.

Kingston noted he's still under AEW contract even though he's been working for ROH.
