Eddie Kingston On His Goals If He Wins AEW Continental Classic & Triple Crown

Eddie Kingston is still alive in the AEW Continental Classic, and he has goals set out if he wins the tournament and the Triple Crown Championship that goes with it. The winner of the tournament becomes AEW Continental Champion, ROH World Champion, and NJPW Strong Champion, and Kingston spoke on the Battleground Podcast about what he hopes to do if he wins the whole thing.

“That’s the goal, but not my show,” Kingston said of potentially defending the title in multiple companies (per Fightful). “I would love, when I do win, I would like to defend all three belts together as one as the Triple Crown, but I would also like to do it separately, as well. Defend the Continental just by itself or Ring of Honor by itself or Strong Openweight as itself, but also together.”

He continued, “Would I like to go to New Japan and do it? Of course. Would I like, if my body lets me, it’s not the schedule, it’s my body. If my body lets me, I would love to go to certain independents like DEFY and AIW and other places I wish, I’m not trying to be an asshole, I just can’t remember, my brain is trying to name all the Indies. HOG in New York. If my body is willing, I would love to do it. When I do win, that’s my goal, to defend all three at once and also all three separately. New Japan would be fun. That would be fun.”

Kingston must defeat Andrade El Idolo on this week’s AEW Collision to make it to the Blue League Finals, which will take place on next week’s AEW Dynamite.
