AEW’s Eddie Kingston is pleased to see the love LA Knight is currently receiving from the WWE Universe.
Eddie Kingston and LA Knight are currently two of the most over performers with their fanbases in AEW and WWE respectively, with the latter having a meteoric rise in recent months that has now led him to main event-status. Whilst the pair are currently working in rival promotions, they did work together during the early days of NWA Powerrr, with Knight performing under the name of Eli Drake at the time.
Speaking recently to Adrian Hernandez, Kingston had the chance to comment on Knight’s success in WWE, sharing his elation for the love his former colleague is receiving.
“I like LA Knight. He’s a good dude. He’s allowed (to wear Timbs). I’m so happy for LA Knight. That dude busts his ass. We all did. To see him get the love that he’s getting and being able to perform on that big stage, I salute him,”

Kingston currently reigns as both the ROH World Champion and the NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion, with his most recent defence coming against HENARE at NJPW STRONG’s Fighting Spirit Unleashed show on the 28th of October.
Knight, meanwhile, is set to take on Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in the main event of tomorrow’s Crown Jewel PLE in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
