AEW Star Dismisses Claims That The Company “Fell Off” Before Kazuchika Okada’s Debut

AEW star Eddie Kingston recently spoke with Steve Fall of WrestlingNews.co for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling. During the discussion, Kingston commented on the state of AEW in 2024:

โ€œI still see it growing. I know a lot of people said, โ€˜Oh, AEW fell off,โ€™ or whatever they say on the internet. Look, as long as Iโ€™m around, AEW is not falling off. Weโ€™ll be alright. As long as Iโ€™m able to wrestle and certain guys like Mox and other guys are still wrestling, AEW ainโ€™t going nowhere, and itโ€™s not going down nowhere.

I remember hearing someone say, โ€˜Oh, weโ€™re back. Weโ€™re back. AEW is backโ€™ after scumbag Okada debuted. I was just like, โ€˜I didnโ€™t go anywhere. No one went anywhere. Thereโ€™s no Iโ€™m back. Weโ€™ve been here.โ€™ Itโ€™s not our fault you werenโ€™t watching. Weโ€™re busting out asses still every day to put out great matches and great professional wrestling. So just because you guys went away doesnโ€™t mean that weโ€™re back [laughs]. Weโ€™ve been here. So no, I just see AEW growing and continuing to grow, and as long as Iโ€™m alive and kicking and able to get in the ring, AEW is gonna keep growing.โ€
