Eddie Kingston is proud of AEW World Champion Jon Moxley.
Kingston and Moxley are known to be close friends, and they previously teamed up together on AEW programming.
Speaking with Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Kingston was asked about Moxley’s contract extension and the champion taking on more of a leadership role.
“Good, he has five more years of dealing with me. I hope he does it big with this expanded role. But he can’t come up to me in a suit and tie with a piece of paper telling me what to do. I’d be like, “My man, it’s like Jay-Z trying to tell DMX what to do. That’s why they had their falling out.” A little bit of kidding aside, I’m proud of everything he does. I’ll always be proud of him. I got his back even if I don’t agree sometimes. That’s how I see my friendship with him. I just hope his expanded role backstage doesn’t take away the focus of the world championship. That’s the most important thing outside of his family. Hopefully, all this backstage stuff doesn’t distract him from that. It’s my only concern, but either way, I got his back, which may force me to do things I don’t want to do,”
