Top AEW star is getting his "viscous" old gimmick back after major setback

AEW star Eddie Kingston is confident going into his ROH World Title defense against Mark Briscoe at ROH Supercard of Honor on Friday, April 5.

Kingston recently lost his AEW Continental Championship to the newly signed Kazuchika Okada on the latest edition of Dynamite. The loss seemed to have affected Kingston in a major way. However, he seems to have recollected himself after talking with former ROH star and mentor Homicide.

On Twitter/X, Ring of Honor Wrestling posted Eddie Kingston's promo, in which he revealed that Homicide reminded him of his former self. The Mad King further promised that he would never let his mentor doubt him and would bring the fight to Mark Briscoe at Supercard of Honor.

"I'm gonna bring the old Eddie," The Mad King proclaimed.
