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).
