An AEW star explains why he felt WWE wasn’t the right fit for him.
Former AEW TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher was a recent guest on the INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet podcast. When asked if he had any potential interest from WWE before signing with AEW, Fletcher revealed that he and fellow Don Callis Family member Mark Davis were in talks with WWE, but ultimately decided against signing with the company, as they felt it wasn’t the right fit for them.
“It was a toss-up for a while. We had one kind of like official [call]. At the time it was myself and Mark Davis as Aussie Open, we had like a Zoom call with them. We kind of spoke about what the deal would entail, and that sort of thing. I think when it got to that point, it just didn’t feel like the right fit at the time. So we didn’t get super close. It was kind of like at the point where there was options there. But AEW was just the right fit for us at the time.”

Speaking further, Kyle Fletcher shared that he chose AEW because he felt there was a lot of trust and that he would be able to wrestle the way he loves in Tony Khan‘s company.
“We were lucky enough that we’d worked there a couple of times. We got brought in as a part of New Japan to do a couple of things. And I think it was the vibe there. I think to me, it was, I don’t want to say the freedom, but I think there’s a lot of trust there to that I can produce the wrestling I want to produce, and I can wrestle the way that I love to wrestle, and I think experiencing that beforehand and knowing that, I think that was what kind of drew me towards AEW for sure.”
