AEW’s Eddie Kingston has been sidelined with an injury and won’t be appearing as scheduled at NJPW Collision in Philadelphia.
New Japan Pro wrestling has announced Kingston will be replaced by fellow AEW star Orange Cassidy at the show in a singles match against Gabriel Kidd.
It’s unclear what the exact injury is. This past Wednesday on Dynamite, Cassidy retained the AEW International Championship against Buddy Matthews. Cassidy vs. Kidd will be for the International Title.
