How does Kyle Fletcher feel after losing the biggest match of his career last weekend at All Out in Toronto?
AEW TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher was a recent guest on WMUL FM’s Rope Break. When asked about his main event match last weekend at All Out against Hangman Page, Fletcher said he believes that match was a test for himself.
“Yeah, I think being 26, my whole kind of career I’ve been- I’ve been the young guy and it’s kind of- I’ve always heard that I have all this potential that in the future I’ll be a world champion. I am at a point now where I really do think I’m hitting my stride,” Kyle Fletcher said. “I think it’s important for me to kind of shake that, that one day I’ll be great, one day I’ll be whatever. Cause I think I’m great now.
“Yeah, it was more so to test myself as well. I wanted to see if I was ready for that. I mean, I can believe it as much as I want in my own head, but I kind of have to prove it to myself as well. So it was a huge test. I wanted to go out there against the guy in AEW. I did that, and I took him; it took 40 minutes for him to beat me. So yeah, I think I swum. I think I proved that I belong in the main event. I didn’t win the World Championship, but I think I proved to a lot of people that it could be coming sooner rather than later.”
When asked for his feelings on Hangman Page specifically, Fletcher put the AEW World Champion over and said he has a lot of respect for him.
“Yeah, I mean, like I said, I’ve been watching AEW since its inception,” Kyle Fletcher said. “I’ve been watching all of the elite guys for even longer than that. So Hangman is someone I have a lot of respect for. He’s someone that I think has probably one of the most in-depth characters in all of pro wrestling. I look up to him a lot and to hear those words come from him, it kind of reinforces to me that I’m on the right path and I’m heading in the right direction.” [H/T: Fightful]
Fletcher will defend the TNT Championship in an open challenge tonight on AEW Collision against a returning Komander. WrestleZone will have live coverage of Collision later this evening.
