Furthermore, Kingston revealed who he would want to be there helping get him back to ring "I would like to get Ortiz and Homicide down to grapple," Kingston continued. "Ortiz, if they're going to film it, because AEW likes to film everything, I get it. I don't, that's not me and my style. At least get Ortiz back on TV [Laughs]. "It's not my show. You're not always going to agree with your job. Once I get to the ring, I'm happy, I'm good." Ortiz was last seen on AEW television on Jan. 20, 2024, alongside Kingston in a losing effort against the Blackpool Combat Club (Bryan Danielson and Claudio Castagnoli).

AEW Grand Slam live results: Full card, start time, winners and losers, updates and highlights
AEW Grand Slam 2025 is going "Down Under" in Brisbane, Australia for a stellar AEW event on-paper, as a trio of title matches — including the premier women's champions in AEW — occupy the Saturday night spotlight. Grand Slam has the potential to be a proper bogan beatdown if the Aussie challengers "Timeless" Toni Storm and Harley Cameron have their way against AEW Women's World Champion Mariah May and TBS Champion Mercedes Mone. The May vs. Storm feud was one of the best of 2024 and has bled into 2025 with continued brilliance. The roles are reversed for this title bid, with May wearing the crown she took from Storm to begin her reign. These two have been wildly entertaining on their own, and it should be a treat having their rivalry return to the ring. The other women's title match, Mone vs. Cameron, came together in a very roundabout way, but that hasn't made it devoid of entertainment, as Cameron has turned into must-see television in recent weeks. Elsewhere on the card, "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada defends his AEW Continental Championship in a dream pairing with Buddy Matthews in the lone men's title match. Thanks to Matthews, the all-time great Okada has recently been enticed more into his more serious, legendary self. Whether or not that will help the Aussie challenger earn his first AEW singles title remains to be seen. The other two matches are of the tag-team variety. Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega's unlikely alliance has led to the possibility of all-time greatness between two singles icons. They'll take on mutual enemies from the Don Callis Family, Konsuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher. AEW World Champion Jon Moxley enters the night alongside his fellow Death Rider, Claudio Castagnoli, against his next challengers, Cope and "Switchblade" Jay White. However, they'll have the "Brisbane Brawl" stipulation to play with in that one, guaranteeing violence from all involved. Uncrowned will have you covered with live coverage all night long. Here's a look at the full card for Saturday, which starts at 10:30 p.m. ET on TNT and MAX: AEW Women's World Championship match: (C) Mariah May vs. Toni Storm AEW Continental Championship: (C) Kazuchika Okada vs. Buddy Matthews TBS Championship: (C) Mercedes Mone vs. Harley Cameron Brisbane Brawl: Death Riders (Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli) vs. Cope & Jay White Will Ospreay & Kenny Omega vs. The Don Callis Family (Konosuke Takeshita & Kyle Fletcher)
