TNA star Nic Nemeth believes AEW views Kyle Fletcher as the company’s future.
On Busted Open Radio, Nemeth expressed confidence in Kyle Fletcher’s bright prospects at just 26 years old. He predicts Fletcher has the potential for decades of main event-level matches ahead.
“They’ve absolutely invested in a kid that is their future, 100%. This guy has been molded for the last year and a half, since he shaved his head. I really think there is 10 to 20 years of main event [matches] in him, once we get there.”
Nemeth also highlighted Fletcher’s physical advantages, “He’s way taller than most of the guys on the show,” Nemeth stated. “At some point down the line, he’ll start working not like a big man, but just like a bigger guy. And I really think that will be when it takes off completely.” [H/T: WrestlingInc]
In late 2023, Fletcher teamed up with Don Callis, who helped him generate significant heat. Last year at AEW WrestleDream, Fletcher tuned on his friend Will Ospreay and helping fellow Callis Family member Konosuke Takeshita in winning the AEW International title. Following this Fletcher introduced a new look with a shaved head and fresh ring gear.
Earlier this year, Fletcher engaged in a heated rivalry with Will Ospreay at AEW Revolution. Following that feud, Fletcher gained momentum over the next few months. He captured his first AEW title by defeating Dustin Rhodes in a brutal steel cage match to claim the TNT Championship.
As TNT Champion on AEW Collision, he successfully defended his title against Tomohiro Ishii. Fletcher then challenged New Japan Pro Wrestling to send their best talent to face him for the TNT Championship at Forbidden Door in London.
