"F**k you B and your mystery guy" - Top AEW star sends an expletive-laden message to Bryan Danielson after his surprise announcement
Eddie Kingston recently took to Twitter to send a strongly-worded message to Bryan Danielson following his shocking announcement last night.
During the go-home episode of Dynamite, Danielson finally spilled the beans on his status for AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door. The 41-year-old delivered bittersweet news as he announced that he has not been medically cleared to wrestle for this Sunday's event or the Blood and Guts episode of AEW's flagship show.
In light of his absence, the former WWE Superstar affirmed that a 'mystery' man would replace him to face Zack Sabre Jr. on June 26. The same wrestler will also join forces with Kingston, Jon Moxley, Santana & Ortiz to face The Jericho Appreciation Society in a Blood and Guts match on next week's edition of Dynamite.
In the wake of this stunning development, wrestling fans have been buzzing over the identity of the mystery man. Eddie Kingston isn't quite as excited. The Mad King tweeted that he only wishes Bryan Danielson a speedy recovery so that he can knock him out on his return. The veteran also expressed that he doesn't need help from Danielson or his mystery replacement to fight JAS:
"I do hope @bryandanielson gets better so I can f**k him up. F**k you B and your mystery guy. All I need is Mox and PnP!" Kingston tweeted.

@CzarDylan @MadKing1981 @P1AllElite @bryandanielson After seeing this tweet I think you’re right now mate. Cesaro will show up and join BCC. I’m gonna support him so let’s hope he’s good and it excites me more when it happens
@MadKing1981 @bryandanielson Leave mystery guy outta this 😡
The Swiss Superman hit free agency after his WWE contract expired in February this year. Cesaro is arguably one of the most technically sound wrestlers in the business today.
Should the veteran show up at the Forbidden Door, fans will go berserk in the jam-packed United Center.
