– Kingston says he will retire when his remaining six-year AEW contract expires
– He plans to move to Alaska and step away from public life
– His upcoming title match with Samoa Joe will not change his long-term decision
Eddie Kingston made his future clear during a conversation with Gabby AF, stating that his wrestling career has a definite end date. He said he is not focused on whether he defeats Samoa Joe at Winter Is Coming and instead is thinking years ahead.
Kingston explained that he has six years left on his AEW contract. He plans to finish that deal, earn his money, and retire from wrestling once the contract expires. He said the outcome of his matches will not change that decision.
Kingston described his dream of relocating to Alaska after retirement. He wants a quiet life with cold weather, distance from society, and access to his favorite sports teams through streaming. He emphasized that peace and privacy are his top priorities.
His comments shift the tone of his upcoming World Title opportunity. Kingston is approaching the match on his own terms, viewing it as another chapter rather than a career-defining moment. His focus remains steady as he prepares to face Samoa Joe.
