Fans will witness the reunion of Eddie Kingston with his former tag team, the Rascalz, as they prepare for a highly anticipated parking lot fight slated for next week’s episode of AEW Collision. Kingston recently made a strong comeback at All Out 2025 after a year-long injury setback, defeating Big Bill in a singles match and gradually reclaiming his position in AEW’s competitive ranks. Known for his intense feuds, Kingston is currently entangled in a bitter rivalry with the Grizzled Young Veterans (GYV), which is expected to reach a dramatic conclusion soon.
Backstage Tensions Ignite a Multi-Man Brawl Setup
During the latest Collision event, backstage scenes set the stage for next week’s clash. Kingston, Ortiz, and the GYV were involved in a heated confrontation that escalated when Bryan Keith and Big Bill, under the influence of GYV, ambushed Kingston—who formerly held the Continental Championship. Later that night, the Rascalz members Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz, alongside Myron Reed, celebrated their victorious debut against CRU’s Lio Rush and Action Andretti. Kingston’s unexpected appearance to join forces with the Rascalz officially announced their alliance for the upcoming eight-man Parking Lot Fight, pitting them against GYV, Bryan Keith, and Big Bill in a high-stakes brawl.
Eddie Kingston’s Recent Success on the Independent Wrestling Scene
Outside AEW, Kingston has been active on the independent circuit, marking this phase with notable achievements. In 2025, he embarked on a retirement run that saw him capturing the Outlaw Wrestling Tag Team Championship alongside AEW partner Ortiz. The duo secured the titles by overcoming The Audacity in a well-received match, further solidifying their chemistry as a team.
Kingston and Ortiz are scheduled to defend their newly acquired championships on February 20 in a triple threat tag team match against The Audacity and the Silk City Kings, maintaining their momentum across both AEW and indie wrestling platforms.
Building Toward a Defining Moment in AEW Storylines
The impending parking lot fight signals a pivotal moment in Kingston’s ongoing feud with GYV, intensifying fan anticipation for Collision’s upcoming episode. Reuniting with the Rascalz not only taps into his roots on the independent circuit but also showcases Kingston’s resilience and ability to forge powerful alliances. This event will likely deepen existing rivalries, while offering Kingston an opportunity to reaffirm his position as a formidable competitor in AEW’s landscape.
