"Says s*** when I'm not there" - Eddie Kingston responds to former WWE Superstar's trash talk referencing Kofi Kingston on AEW Dynamite
AEW star Eddie Kingston has reacted to CM Punk calling him the second-best Kingston with reference to WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston on the latest episode of Dynamite.
Punk kicked off the show with the AEW Championship on his shoulders. He labeled Jon Moxley, the Interim World Champion, the third-best in the Blackpool Combat Club, and said that this is not the first time the latter has been in such a position, referencing Mox's time in the SHIELD.
During his speech, the former WWE star also mentioned that Eddie Kingston is the third-best Eddie and the second-best Kingston he has stepped into the ring with. He seemingly referred to Kofi Kingston to draw the latter comparison.
Kingston took to Twitter to express his frustrations regarding the same. Naturally, Punk's statement did not go down well with the 40-year-old. Here is what Eddie wrote:
"Of course the c**t says s*it when I'm not there."
