Eddie Kingston Says WWE Called Him After His AEW Debut

Posted By: Paul Allen on Sep 04, 2020

On Eddie Kingston's appearance on Talk is Jericho, Kingston discussed how after he made is AEW debut going up against Cody Rhodes for the TNT Championship, he received two phone calls.

The first phone call was from Christopher Daniels, who offered him a second appearance with AEW. The other phone call, was from "the competition" as he put it.

WWE had been trying to recruit Kingston to become a coach in their performance center, but Kingston had no interest in it and turned it down.

"But my thing was, and I told them, I can’t collect a paycheck if I didn’t earn it. They were like, ‘What do you mean?’ And my thing was, I was gonna go in there, coach, be bitter and angry about coaching, not getting a shot. And these guys who don’t, they love wrestling now cause they’re at the Performance Center, no offense to them …

But when you’re on the road getting paid hot dogs and soda …. But I would’ve been so bitter and angry. I wouldn’t have done a good job. I would have been detrimental to those kids. So I was like, “Naw, I’m good.”
