The ending to AEW Dynamite was pretty crazy this weekend and things went even further after the show went off air. Eddie Kingston stuck around in the ring afterwards to address the live crowd in attendance.
Kingston first thanked the live crowd for coming but then began slamming what he called ‘The Competition’, seemingly firing shots at WWE. It should be noted that Kingston never specifically named another promotion.
Kingston said “The competition sometimes doesn’t want to hear the fans. Oh, I guess I’m burning another bridge… surprise. Ladies and gentlemen, AEW cares about their fans. Because we are not here just to get ourselves a paycheck. We’re here every week either with you people or without you people, and we come out here and we bust our asses. We love professional wrestling.”
Continuing on, he said “You saw a match between Kenny Omega and my dude, Jungle Boy, that you will not see on the other channel. You will not see legends who are respected on the other channel. You will not see people like me and my best friend on the other channel. You will not see the heart that everybody in that locker room has on the other channel. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m supposed to send you home happy, but I’m speaking from my heart. The bottom line is this: We are AEW. We will see you Wednesday, and we want to hear you!”
