Following the main event of Saturday night’s episode of AEW Dynamite where Kenny Omega defeated Jungle Boy to retain the AEW World Heavyweight Championship, Eddie Kingston cut a promo to send the crowd home happy.
For those who didn’t see it, Christian Cage ran down and chased off Omega after he was attacking Jungle Boy following the bell. Matt Hardy and Private Party then came down and attacked Christian, which brought out The Young Bucks. They wound up superkicking Christian. AEW Dynamite went off the air with Omega, Hardy, Private Party, and The Young Bucks celebrating their actions.
After the show went off the air, Eddie Kingston and Penta El Zero Miedo ran down and chased off Omega, Private Party, Matt Hardy, and The Young Bucks. Kingston then grabbed a microphone and said the following,
“That’s what I’m talking about. Because the competition sometimes doesn’t want to hear their 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 — with you people, without you people — and we come out here and we bust our asses. We love professional wrestling!
“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 (Penta) on the other channel. And you will not see the heart that everybody in that locker room has on the other channel. Ladies and gentlemen, I was 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!”
Eddie Kingston and Penta vs. The Young Bucks will take place on AEW Dynamite next week. The winner of the match will earn a shot at the AEW Tag-Team Championships.
