Eddie Kingston vs. Tomohiro Ishii Announced For AEW All Out

Eddie Kingston will have a match at AEW: All Out after all.

Earlier this evening, AEW President, Tony Khan took to Twitter to announce that Eddie Kingston will face NJPW’s Tomohiro Ishii at the company’s All Out pay-per-view event, this weekend. Per Khan, the match will take place on the show’s ‘Zero Hour’ pre-show.

Kingston was originally slated to face former TNT Champion, Sammy Guevara at this weekend’s event, however the match was nixed and Kingston was subsequently suspended following a backstage altercation between the pair, where Kingston ‘pie faced’ Guevara following Guevara’s comments about Kingston’s physical appearance during a promo on AEW: Rampage.
