Eddie Kingston Discusses His Friendship With Ruby Soho: “I definitely pushed her away in the beginning”

Eddie Kingston discusses his friendship with Ruby Soho.

Ruby Soho and Eddie Kingston are good friends as fans know. Soho has been involved in pretty much all of Eddie’s pull apart brawl’s while also being injured to further the storyline between Chris Jericho and Kingston earlier this year.

In an interview with “Doc” Chris Mueller of Bleacher Report, Kingston opened up about his mental health and discussed his friendship with Ruby, who he says has helped him through his mental health issues.

“Oh, man. Wow, it’s a while ago. I just remember when she first started out wrestling, I knew her trainer, Billy Roc. So knowing that I knew her trainer, and how much of a good person her trainer was, I decided to look out for anybody who is one of his students.

“And, you know, I do that for certain people. Like, for instance, another example is Pepper Parks. If I see that he has a student or he says, ‘Hey, King, this kid’s my student.’ I’ll look out for them. And then I give them advice and stuff. So, that’s how it all really started. I knew she was one of Roc’s kids, as I put it, and I just wanted to look out for giving her advice.

“And then as time went on, we started talking deeper about things. And then we just started, you know, clicking and understanding each other. It was very weird how the friendship grew so quickly, but she got me right away.

“I definitely pushed her away in the beginning, you know what I mean? And then the same thing with a lot of people who had my back who are part of my support system, I’ve tried to push them all away. And they’ve all been the ones who stayed to have my back. And I’m very lucky and blessed that they decided to stick with me. They stayed for the whole ride,”

Soho is currently out of action with a broken nose that she will be undergoing surgery to repair after suffering two different breaks of the bone at AEW All Out earlier this month.
