TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher reflected on his AEW World Championship match against Hangman Page at All Out during a recent interview.
Fletcher told WMUL Radio recently that he feels the match has solidified him as a main eventer and called going 40 minutes with Page a “huge challenge.”
Fletcher said:
“My whole career Iâ€ve been the young guy. Iâ€ve always heard that I have all this potential, that in the future Iâ€ll be a world champion. And Iâ€m at a point now where I really do think Iâ€m hitting my stride. And I think itâ€s important for me to shake that ‘one day Iâ€ll be great, one day Iâ€ll be whatever’ because I think Iâ€m great now.“
“It was 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 have to prove it to myself as well. So, it was a huge test.”
“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.”
Fletcher was asked about Page praising him after their All Out match, and Fletcher responded that he’s been following The Elite since before AEW started and has a lot of respect for Page.
Fletcher continued:
“Iâ€ve been watching AEW since its inception. Iâ€ve been watching all of the Elite guys for even longer than that. So, Hangman is someone I have a lot of respect for. Heâ€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 Iâ€m on the right path and Iâ€m heading in the right direction.”
Fletcher has two AEW matches upcoming. He’s scheduled to put his TNT Championship on the line against Komander on tonight’s episode of Collision at the Marshall Health Network Arena in Huntington, West Virginia. Assuming he retains on Saturday, Fletcher will then defend his belt against the undefeated Hologram on Wednesday’s 6-year Anniversary of AEW Dynamite special.
