AEW's Eddie Kingston Returns At All Out After Leg Injury

Eddie Kingston is set to make a highly anticipated return to AEW at the All Out pay-per-view on September 20, 2025, facing Big Bill in his first match since suffering a severe leg injury in May 2024. His injury, which included a broken tibia and torn ACL and meniscus, occurred at the peak of his career while holding multiple championships, making his comeback a significant moment for AEW and its fans. Kingston's recovery was notably supported by AEW President Tony Khan, who intervened to cover unexpected surgery costs due to insurance issues. Meanwhile, Bryan Danielson has transitioned to a full-time commentary role on AEW Dynamite following his October 2024 retirement from full-time wrestling, largely due to a serious neck condition that he has chosen not to have surgically treated. Danielson has expressed uncertainty about ever returning to in-ring competition at AEW’s high-impact level but remains open to wrestling in less demanding indie shows. These developments highlight AEW’s ongoing efforts to balance the return of key wrestling talent with the realities of their health and career longevity.
