Eddie Kingston, also known as “The Mad King,” remains sidelined as he continues his challenging knee rehabilitation, causing uncertainty around his highly anticipated AEW return. The latest Eddie Kingston knee injury rehab update for AEW return reveals that fans may have to wait longer to witness his comeback in All Elite Wrestling.
Kingston’s Ongoing Recovery Delays AEW Comeback
Last month’s AEW Double or Nothing event stirred hope among fans for a dramatic Kingston comeback, especially with the possibility of facing Gabe Kidd, the wrestler responsible for his current absence after their confrontation in New Japan. However, the much-anticipated Anarchy in the Arena match concluded with no sign of Kingston, leaving many disappointed and concerned about the severity of his setback.
Public Update Highlights Rehab Struggles
In a recent Instagram update, Kingston offered a transparent and candid glimpse into his rehabilitation process. Instead of delivering an uplifting message, he chose honesty over motivation, summarizing his ongoing ordeal in his own blunt style:
“I tried to find some motivational quote, but let’s be real, shit sucked and I hate doing it, but it has to be done,”

The video showcased Kingston enduring visible pain as he continued working through his exercises, underscoring the difficult reality he is facing on his road to recovery. Despite speculation and eagerness from the wrestling community, the footage suggested that Kingston’s return to the AEW ring is still some distance away.
What Fans Can Expect Next
Supporters remain on alert for future announcements from sources like WrestleZone and further insight from Kingston himself as he battles back. The fan base continues to await an official timeline for the AEW return of The Mad King, whose absence has been keenly felt since his intense storyline with Gabe Kidd and his prior matches across AEW and New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Until Kingston is cleared, the question of when—or if—he’ll return looms, leaving the wrestling world watching his journey with concern and hope.
