Kyle Fletcher Says His AEW Singles Run Happened Faster Than He Expected

Kyle Fletcher says his AEW singles run happened a lot faster than he expected, ahead of his World title match against Will Ospreay at Full Gear.

Fletcher spoke about his rise on What Happened When with Tony Schiavone. He said a singles run was never discussed when he and Mark Davis joined AEW as Aussie Open, and it came about quicker than he thought it would.

“It really was something that just kind of happened. It was never really discussed beforehand. I think I always had the belief that if it was to ever happen that I would succeed regardless,” Fletcher said. “I figured, you know, probably at some point we would, it would happen eventually. And I just had that belief in myself that everything would work out. And it happened a lot faster than I expected.”

Fletcher and Davis were signed by AEW off the back of their run as Aussie Open, one of the top tag teams in the world. Fletcher moved into singles competition and soon won the AEW TNT Championship and the AEW International Championship.

Now he gets the biggest match of his career. Fletcher challenges Ospreay for the AEW World Championship at Full Gear on November 14 in Phoenix. Ospreay is the champion, and the two have a history. Fletcher’s first singles pay-per-view match in AEW was against Ospreay at Full Gear last year.

Davis has also found success on his own since the team split. He won the AEW National Championship earlier this year before losing it to Andrade El Idolo, who then lost it to Tommaso Ciampa on Collision on November 7.

Fletcher is one of the fastest rising stars in AEW, and a win at Full Gear would make him World Champion for the first time. He has said the World title is the goal, and Saturday is his shot at it.

What is confirmed is the match, the date and Fletcher’s comments. What is not confirmed is whether Fletcher wins the title, or what comes next for him if he does not.
