  • Konosuke Takeshita Betrayed By Returning Star After Winning AEW International Title

    Konosuke Takeshita Betrayed By Returning Star After Winning AEW International Title

    Konosuke Takeshita defeated Kazuchika Okada to win the AEW International Championship at Double Or Nothing on Sunday night at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York.

    Okada controlled the early going before Takeshita fired back with belly-to-belly suplexes. The match featured several signature exchanges, including Okada hitting the Rainmaker on the apron, a superplex from Takeshita, and Okada’s tombstone piledriver.

    Takeshita hit a Rainmaker of his own at one point, only for Okada to respond with a dropkick. Takeshita no-sold it and hit a jumping knee for a near-fall before finishing Okada with the Raging Fire.

    After the match, members of The Don Callis Family came to the ring to confront the new champion. Kyle Fletcher appeared to side with Takeshita initially before turning on him, laying him out and posing with the title.

  • Tentative Return Plans For Kyle Fletcher Revealed

    Tentative Return Plans For Kyle Fletcher Revealed

    Tony Khan is hopeful that Kyle Fletcher can return in a few months.

    The Don Callis Family member had to relinquish his TNT championship due to a meniscus injury confirmed on this week’s Dynamite. With reports suggesting that the young star will be taking care of some other nagging issues during his hiatus as well, fans were worried that we might not see the Protostar back in a wrestling ring this year.

    The AEW President was asked about Kyle Fletcher during the AEW Dynasty media call. Tony Khan noted that he is trying to look at the positives of the situation and revealed that they are hoping for the injured star to be back in time for the All In event in August:

    “Kyle Fletcher is expected to be out for months. I’m looking at it glass half full, because we were very concerned when he got hurt. He’s a very important wrestler for AEW and was involved in many plans, including AEW Dynasty. The positive is that I don’t expect him to be out for a year, and I’m optimistic he could return in time for AEW All In at Wembley Stadium. I think that’s a realistic goal.”

    The company has announced a Casino Gauntlet match to determine the new TNT Champion at the PPV this Sunday. Tommaso Ciampa has earned the #1 spot in the bout after defeating Máscara Dorada in a match on the April 8 Dynamite.

    While Kyle Fletcher will not be able to make it to the event, there is another former champion who is teasing his return at the Dynasty PPV. You can check out more about it here.

  • Kyle Fletcher Injured, TNT Championship Vacated; Casino Gauntlet Set for AEW Dynasty

    Kyle Fletcher Injured, TNT Championship Vacated; Casino Gauntlet Set for AEW Dynasty

    Tony Khan announced on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite that Kyle Fletcher is expected to miss several months of action due to a meniscus injury, along with additional undisclosed injuries sustained during the March 28 episode of AEW Collision.

    As a result, the TNT Championship has been vacated. A Casino Gauntlet match will take place at AEW Dynasty on April 12 in Vancouver to crown a new champion.

    Per Fightful Select, Fletcher’s meniscus injury alone would sideline him for quite some time, with the additional injuries expected to extend his recovery further. He had held the TNT Championship for 54 days, winning the title for the second time on the February 11 edition of Dynamite. Marq Quen is also out long-term with a separate injury.

    Ciampa vs. Mascara Dorada to Determine First Entrant

    To set the Casino Gauntlet field, Tommaso Ciampa will face Mascara Dorada later on tonight’s Dynamite. The winner earns the first entry spot in the match at AEW Dynasty on April 12 in Vancouver.

  • Two AEW Stars Reportedly Out Long-Term With Injuries

    Two AEW Stars Reportedly Out Long-Term With Injuries

    AEW will be without Kyle Fletcher and Marq Quen for extended periods due to injuries. Both wrestlers were announced as out of action during a recent episode of AEW Collision.

    According to Fightful Select, the promotion is preparing for long absences from both Fletcher and Quen as they recover from their respective injuries.

    Marq Quen Injury Concerns

    Quen’s situation carries particular concern within the promotion. One AEW source indicated he may have suffered some kind of tear, while another noted he is expected to miss a significant period of time.

    The timing is especially unfortunate for Quen. The injury comes shortly after Private Party returned to action following more than a year away from the ring.

    No specific timelines for either wrestler’s return have been announced. We wish them a speedy recovery.

  • Kyle Fletcher Recalls AEW PPV Being ‘One of The Worst Days’ of His Life

    Kyle Fletcher Recalls AEW PPV Being ‘One of The Worst Days’ of His Life

    Kyle Fletcher says All In: Texas was one of the worst days of his life.

    The 2025 AEW PPV was originally scheduled to feature a TNT Title match between The Protostar and Adam Cole. The match was cancelled hours before the show, however, due to the former WWE star’s injury. It was replaced with a fatal four-way for the now vacant title, which was won by Dustin Rhodes.

    The Don Callis Family member spoke about the whole experience for the first time in a new interview with Soundsphere Magazine. Kyle Fletcher proclaimed that it was one of the worst days of his life because he had been preparing for the moment for a long time:

    “It was one of the worst days of my whole life. When you have so much built up anxiety and you’ve put that pressure on yourself… You know, I’d been dieting for two, three months leading up to that show. Every single day, I’d been thinking about this moment, this match, all of it. And then the rug gets pulled five hours before, you can’t really put into words what that kind of feels like.”

    It Just All Went To Shit: Kyle Fletcher

    Adam Cole was originally ready to announce his wrestling retirement after vacating the TNT title and he was only stopped by the officials imploring him not to make it official. The former NXT Champion has not returned to the ring since then, and there has been no update on his wrestling future.

    Kyle Fletcher explained that it was supposed to be a huge day for him and he felt a lot of mixed emotions on the match being cancalled. Though he later admitted that he can’t complain too much as the situation for Cole was worse:

    “I was just in this weird limbo. I had no idea what was gonna happen, and I had flown my mum out for that show. It was obviously a huge day for me, and then it just all went to shit. Obviously, this is my perspective. It’s very hard for me to complain about it, because I don’t feel like I have the right to complain about it. But yeah, it was very emotional in a lot of different ways, and not how you want a big day like that to go.”

    The 27-year-old later said that because of this turn of events, he wants to make sure that the show this year will be a much more positive experience and a day to remember for him.

  • Kyle Fletcher Debuts New TNT Title Design At Grand Slam: Australia

    Kyle Fletcher has debuted a new title belt.

    The Australian native entered tonight\’s AEW Grand Slam event from Sydney as champion after defeating Tommaso Ciampa for the TNT Title at this week\’s Dynamite.

    Mark Briscoe had challenged the 27-year-old for a rubber match after his victory, as both stars had 3 wins each against the other. Fletcher agreed to the bout on condition that it will be a ladder match.

    The brutal bout saw the native star taking a lot of punishment, but in the end, Kyle Fletcher defeated the Conglomeration member to retain his title.

    This wasn\’t the last of Fletcher fans in attendance saw during the night, however. Kyle seemingly made another appearance after the main event of the show and introduced a new pink colored TNT title belt:

    Before this, MJF successfully defended his AEW World Title against Brody King, and he was then confronted by the new #1 contender Hangman Page. Loud \’Fuck ICE\’ chants were heard in the arena before this bout, and you can check out a video of it here.

  • Tommaso Ciampa Breaks Silence On Unexpected TNT Title Loss

    Tommaso Ciampa is taking just one day off.

    The Psycho Killer suffered an unexpected loss at this week\’s episode of Dynamite. Kyle Fletcher beat him at the show, ending the former WWE star\’s reign with the TNT Championship at just 11 days. 

    The wrestling veteran broke his silence on the loss on Instagram, posting a photo of himself with the belt. Tommaso Ciampa noted that he is giving himself just one night to sit with his emotions, and he is going to get back to work the next day:

    \”11 days. I’ll give myself one night to reflect. One night to sit with my emotions. But when that sun rises, we get back to work. No excuses. No what ifs. No regrets. Any given Sunday. AEW. Where the best wrestle. Congratulations, Kyle Fletcher.\”

    AEW will be travelling to Australia for the Grand Slam event after Dynamite, and having the Australian native Fletcher walking into the show as champion was probably the biggest reason behind the title change.

    There is no word on what the company is planning for Ciampa after this loss and we will have to see if he gets another shot at the championship anytime soon.

  • Ladder Match Added to AEW Grand Slam Australia

    Klye Fletcher is coming home as champion.

    This week\’s episode of Dynamite featured an unexpected title change as the 27-year-old ended Tommaso Ciampa\’s run with the TNT title at just 11 days.

    The new champion immediately announced an open challenge for the title at the upcoming Grand Slam Australia event. It was Mark Briscoe who answered the challenge.

    The Conglomeration star mentioned that they each had 3 wins against the other so they needed a rubber match. Fletcher accepted the challenge on the condition that they will meet in a ladder match instead of a regular bout.

    AEW Grand Slam Australia Updated Card

    The AEW special will be taking place from Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia on February 14. Below is the updated card for the event:

    • AEW Continental Championship Match: Jon Moxley (c) vs. Konosuke Takeshita
    • AEW World Title #1 One Contenders Match: Hangman Page vs. Andrade
    • Hair vs Hair Match (Person who is pinned loses their hair): Orange Cassidy & Toni Storm vs. Marina Shafir & Wheeler Yuta
    • AEW Women’s Tag Team Championships Match: Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron (c) vs. Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford
    • AEW World Championship Match: MJF (c) vs. Brody King
    • AEW TNT Championship Ladder Match: Kyle Fletcher (c) vs. Mark Briscoe

  • Tommaso Ciampa Loses TNT Title After 11 Day Run

    Tommaso Ciampa has dropped the TNT title.

    The Psycho Killer had defeated Mark Briscoe in his AEW debut match on January 31 to win the championship and establish himself as a serious contender after his WWE exit.

    He made his second title defence on this week\’s Dynamite, facing Kyle Fletcher in a hard-hitting match. Don Callis was in commentary for this bout.

    The ending saw Ciampa getting a near fall after a knee strike on the young star. Fletcher came back, however, and he was able to pin the champion with a Michinoku driver and a Brainbuster combo.

    The title change ends Tommaso Ciampa\’s run with the belt at just 11 days, while Kyle Fletcher begins his second reign with the belt.

    The Australian native already has his first title defence set as Mark Briscoe made an appearance after this match and challenged him for a ladder match at the upcoming Grand Slam Australia event on February 14.

    There is no word on what the company is planning for Ciampa after this unexpected loss, but it\’s possible that we will see him getting a rematch for the belt in future.

  • Kyle Fletcher On Criticism of His Dangerous Worlds End Spot

    Kyle Fletcher understands the criticism of his spot with Jon Moxley.

    The Don Callis Family member landed on his neck while taking a top rope dragon suplex from Mox during their Worlds Ends match. The spot attracted a lot of negative reactions. A day after the PPV, William Regal made a lengthy post explaining the need for talent to protect themselves. Regal did not mention anyone by name and received a lot of support from the wrestling world on the sentiment.

    During a recent interview with Nine Sports, the former TNT Champion addressed the incident. Kyle Fletcher admitted that the spot did not go as planned and said that he understands everyone\’s concerns:

    “Of course, I have to take it [criticism] on board. Obviously, it didn’t go to plan, I understand all the points that everyone is making – it was very dangerous.\”

    Kyle Fletcher explained that judging the danger was difficult for him while the match was ongoing because he did not feel anything out of the ordinary in the moment. He knew that he had landed a bit higher on the neck than intended but he felt fine despite the awkward landing:

    “The referee came over and usually they will check on you once and you’re like ‘yeah no worries, it’s all good’ but then he came over a second time and asked again, which makes me think that there was maybe someone in his ear saying ‘make sure he’s OK’.

    The AEW star noted that he only realised the error while watching the spot back later on. He also claimed that he was battered and bruised coming out of the match with the Death Riders leader, but it was nothing more than what he\’s used to dealing with as a pro wrestler.

  • Kyle Fletcher Names WWE Veterans As Promo Inspiration

    Kyle Fletcher has revealed which WWE names he has used for inspiration for his promos.

    The AEW star spoke to Chris Van Vliet for a new interview. He discussed things such as shaving his head live on TV, cage match with Will Ospreay, comparisons to Randy Orton, and more.

    When asked about his promo inspirations, the 26-year-old mentioned that he grew up during the WWE PG era. According to Kyle Fletcher, one of the first names that drew him in with his promos was The Miz:

    “This always gets a bit of a laugh. Growing up, I’m a little bit younger than a lot of wrestling fans. One of the people who first drew me with their promos was The Miz. A lot of people have things to say about him now, but I still think he’s one of the best. I think I’ve always thought that.\”

    Far And Away The Best: Kyle Fletcher

    The former TNT Champion also gave a nod to John Cena, saying the Cenation Leader is the best promo guy he has ever seen. Kyle Fletcher mentioned the recently concluded retirement tour of the 17-time World Champion, discussing how it featured some great promos:

    \”I think Cena is far and away the best promo guy I’ve ever seen. The stuff in his final run, there have been a couple where I’ve just been sitting there glued to the screen like \’How is this guy just so amazing at what he does?\’\”

    Apart from this, Fletcher named people such as Hangman Page, Roman Reigns, and Samoa Joe as some of the best promo guys he draws inspiration from, for his own work.

  • Kyle Fletcher Can Break AEW Record Set by Cody Rhodes at Full Gear

    Kyle Fletcher is currently tied with Cody Rhodes for a particular record in All Elite Wrestling but the former could potentially usurp the latter this weekend. At AEW Full Gear 2025, Fletcher will defend his TNT championship against Mark Briscoe and he can enter unprecedented territory if he does get his ideal outcome on Saturday. Right now the Don Callis family member is tied with Cody Rhodes for consecutive defenses of the TNT championship across a single reign, with both being tied at eight defenses apiece.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ7veSmq3vY

    While speaking with TMZ’s Inside The Ring, Fletcher touched on that looming chance to cement himself in the history books and it seems to create a multiplicity of emotions for him. While Fletcher did mention some level of imposter syndrome associated with leaping over former TNT champions like Miro and Darby Allin, Kyle Fletcher also was able to puff his chest out a bit. The TNT champion felt like accomplishing something that puts him above Cody Rhodes, who Fletcher said was probably the number one star in pro wrestling today is ‘very reassuring to me.’

    Kyle Fletcher responds to Stevie Richards’ claims that Logan Paul is better than everyone in AEW

    Kyle Fletcher recently fired back at Stevie Richards as the former WWE and ECW performer made some pretty big claims about Logan Paul’s abilities relative to many of his more experienced peers. The former WWE United States champion was described by Richards as being better than the entire AEW roster, and Richards also quipped that Paul was better than 98 percent of the performers contracted to WWE right now.

    In the aforementioned interview with TMZ, Fletcher mentioned that he did not know if Richards was making these comments in a wholehearted way. While the TNT champion mentioned everyone is entitled to their opinion, Fletcher also described Richards’ opinion as ‘bulls**t’ in this particular context.

    Fletcher felt like it was such an absurd thing to say considering the depth of incredible matches AEW has to the scale that he feels like he has a new match of the year contender with every subsequent week Fletcher sees All Elite Wrestling programming. Kyle Fletcher pointedly said he wasn’t trying to hate on Logan Paul and that the influencer was doing great things in the ring, but clearly there was vehement disagreement with Richards’ take there.

  • MVP: “I See A Bright Future for Kyle Fletcher”

    MVP has quite the eye for talent, even through the lens of surrounding himself with the likes of Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin, and he is clearly quite impressed by the reigning TNT champion. This was expressed by the managerial branch of the Hurt Syndicate via an interview with Adventure Gamers.

    When asked what he thinks about Fletcher’s run with the TNT championship so far, MVP said,

    “I think Kyle’s brilliant. He’s a brilliant kid. He looks like a star. He gets it. He presents himself as a star and he has a huge upside, his aptitude.”

    “And whenever I happen to run into him and he asks for insight or asks for an opinion on his match, you can see him make the adjustments.”

    “He doesn’t just ask for the sake of doing it to score points with veterans or whatever. He does it because he genuinely wants to improve his game.”

    “So I think during his title run, he’s represented himself exceptionally well during this run. And I see a bright future for Kyle Fletcher.”

    MVP signs new long term contract with AEW

    Montel Vontavious Porter was asked a follow up quesiton in the same interview if he ever fancied a one-on-one match with Fletcher. MVP joked that he wasn’t sure if he could keep up with the kid, that he’d have to take him down to slow the pace of everything, and offered up the classic bit of advice that if you think you’re going too slow, go slower.

    That being said, MVP will have ample opportunities to throw down with whoever as he has been locked into a longer term contractual agreement with All Elite Wrestling. Obviously that covers his usual management role but also leaves things open to singles action and MVP also has a level of focus on winning the AEW Trios titles someday alongside Lashley and Benjamin.

    Regardless of what all of that specifcially looks like, fans can eagerly follow along with the week to week journey of Montel Vontavious Porter on AEW broadcasts for a while to come.

  • WWE And AEW Stars Come Together To Help Ridge Holland After Abrupt Firing

    Superstars from around the wrestling world are coming together to help former WWE star Ridge Holland after his abrupt firing from WWE.

    The 37-year-old launched a GoFundMe Campaign after the company terminated his contract weeks earlier. This was the latest shocking development in an already convoluted situation where the officials had informed Holland in October that his deal will not be renewed, while he was out injured.

    Wrestling World Uniting To Help Ridge Holland

    The campaign message confirmed that Ridge had taken a pay cut to sign his latest WWE contract and revealed that he might have to undergo another surgery in March. It also highlighted his status as an independent contractor:

    \”Despite being injured at work, he was hired as a 1099 contractor — meaning he’s not eligible for workers’ compensation, sick leave, or any support from the employer. Since the injury, the company has offered to pay for medical expenses BUT No pay. No new contract\”

    A number of wrestling stars have come forward to help the former NXT tag champion, including current WWE talents Chelsea Green and Omos. On AEW\’s side, people such as Nick Jackson and Kyle Fletcher have donated. Jinder Mahal, who was released from his WWE deal last year has also contributed.

    Reports suggest that WWE considered Holland\’s social media posts as breach of contract and decided to end his deal early because of it. You can check out more details about it here.

  • TNT Title Match With Multiple Stipulations Announced For Full Gear

    Mark Briscoe will be putting his freedom on the line at Full Gear.

    The latest episode of Dynamite saw Briscoe approaching Kyle Fletcher once again for a TNT title shot. He proposed the match for the upcoming PPV with a No DQ stipulation.

    Don Callis intervened before Fletcher could agree to the bout, however. He added another twist to the whole thing, saying that Mark will have to join his faction if he loses the championship bout.

    Apart from this, the company also announced a big six-man tag team match for the show. The bout will see Kenny Omega teaming with Jurassic Express to take on Josh Alexander and the Young Bucks, with the prize money of $1 million on the line.

  • Mark Briscoe Welcomes Baby Boy, Demands TNT Title Match

    Mark Briscoe wasn\’t present at the August 27, episode of AEW Collision, but he had a very good reason to miss the show. In a pre-taped segment that aired during Wednesday’s show, cameras caught up with Briscoe at his family’s farm. The former ROH World Champion explained that he missed the show to be home for the birth of his new son, Mack.

    \”The reason I ain’t there is ’cause we just welcomed a new Briscoe into the world. Meet baby Mack, y’all!\”

    While Briscoe was elated at this newest member of the family, his attention quickly turned back to wrestling, specifically calling out Kyle Fletcher. He issued a direct challenge for the TNT Championship, making it clear he’s ready to fight when AEW comes to Philadelphia.

    AEW will be running events at the historic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia through to September 11, giving Briscoe time to prepare for the Fletcher match. It remains to be seen what the TNT Champion\’s response will be, but Mark Briscoe is keeping a close eye on the gold.

    We here at SEScoops would like to congratulate Briscoe and his wife on the latest edition to their family.

  • AEW Secures Kyle Fletcher With New Contract (Report)

    AEW has secured the future of one of its brightest young stars, TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher, with a major long-term contract signed earlier this year. Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp reports that AEW insiders confirmed Fletcher quietly inked the deal in the spring.

    Fletcher negotiated through a representative, the report adds. This new deal underscores Tony Khan’s belief in Fletcher as a key pillar of AEW’s long-term plans, with one source noting that Khan \”has made it clear he views Fletcher as central to AEW’s future.\”

    This lofty contract will keep Fletcher away from WWE, which is home to multiple former TNT Champions. Inaugural TNT Champion Cody Rhodes returned to WWE in 2022 while one-time champion Miro made his return to WWE earlier this year.

    As for Fletcher, he is in his first reign after besting Dustin Rhodes during the July 31, episode of AEW Collision. With a title reign and a new contract to his name, fans can expect plenty more of Kyle Fletcher in AEW.

    Dustin Rhodes Set To Miss Major Time After AEW Angle

  • AEW Star Hints At End of Tag Team After Collision Title Change

    An AEW tag team has seemingly run its course.

    The main event of this week\’s episode of AEW Collision saw Dustin Rhodes defending his TNT Championship against Kyle Fletcher.

    The brutal Chicago Street Fight saw both competitors putting each other through hell, and both the champion and the challenger were covered in blood by the end of the night. Don Callis proved to be the difference maker in the end.

    Callis slipped a screwdriver to Fletcher, which the young star used to stab Dustin in the knee. The TNT Champion eventually managed to get the screwdriver out of his flesh, but the damage was already done. Kyle ended the match with a sheer drop brainbuster on Dustin to win the TNT Championship.

    Sons of Texas No More?

    Kyle Fletcher, however, was not done with his opponent even after the bell. The 56-year-old had to be stretchered out of the arena following a brutal post-match beatdown at the hands of the new champion.

    Dustin\’s ROH tag team partner, Sammy Guevara, interestingly made a tweet after tonight\’s show, writing \’It was nice while it lasted\’:

    Guevara was put in a tag team with the wrestling veteran when he returned to AEW TV in August last year, following his suspension from the promotion. With Dustin seemingly being written off TV with tonight\’s angle, it\’s possible that Sammy will return to singles competition.

    Though the duo known as Sons of Texas still hold the ROH Tag Team Championship, and we\’ll have to see how the officials address it if Rhodes indeed takes time off from the promotion.

  • Tony Khan Reveals Big Continental Classic Fight For 12/4 Dynamite

    Tony Khan continues to cultivate the scorecard for the ongoing AEW Continental Classic.

    As WWE Survivor Series set to commence on Saturday evening, the AEW President took to social media to announce a round two fight for the round robin tournament. It will be Shelton Benjamin taking on Kyle Fletcher for the 12/4 episode of AEW Dynamite. Khan hyped the match, noting that Benjamin are the two top names in their \”league\” going mono-a-mono.

    \”The current Top 2 in the C2 Blue League will fight 1-on-1: Shelton Benjamin vs Kyle Fletcher. THIS WEDNESDAY!\”

    The Continental Classic started up on the pre-Thanksgiving episode of AEW Dynamite as Shelton Benjamin defeated former ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe via a clean pinfall following a powerslam.

    As for Fletcher, the adversary of Will Ospreay upended the Beast Mortos on this week\’s episode of AEW Collision after nailing the bullheadecd luchador with a brainbuster. The match-up itself provides to be an intriguing one as Benjamin and Fletcher are both top heels in the company, also being involved in their respective heel factions. Benjamin is notoriously apart of The Hurt Syndicate alongside MVP and Bobby Lashley while Fletcher is a member of the revamped Don Callis Family. Fletcher will look to continue the hot hand as he ended up definitively defeating Ospreay earlier this week at AEW Full Gear. Ospreay is aiming to rebound from that loss as on that same episode of Collision, he defeated Juice Robinson in the \’Gold League\’ side of the Classic. Unfortunately, Robinson ended up getting injured in the fight.
