All Elite Wrestling had to remove parts of Eddie Kingston’s promo from the 8/22 episode of Dynamite due to the referencing of a WWE Superstar.

According to a report by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, a mention of WWE Raw Superstar Rey Mysterio was edited off of the taped promo by Eddie Kingston when he was rallying Butcher, Blade, and the Lucha Brothers together. No specific reason was made clear as to why the edit was made.
