Following his tag team match at AEW Grand Slam Australia, Kyle Fletcher stepped away from his heel persona to share an emotional message with fans. Fletcher, who teamed with Konosuke Takeshita against Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega, fell short in the match but found victory in the moment’s significance.
Here it comes. Starting out in Australia I never thought things like this were possible. No one from Australia had ever ‘made it’ so the idea that anything like this would ever be a reality seemed so far fetched. This week I got to wrestle in front of over ten thousand, countless friends and family, do interviews with the news outlets I grew up watching, test myself against some of the greatest to ever do it and just so happened to get into the best shape of my life for it.
Fletcher continued expressing his gratitude in a second message, highlighting the personal significance of the event.
Plus I got to share my beautiful country with my beautiful life partner for the first time (and see Bodhi the golden). This entire week has felt surreal. Overwhelming at times but all worth it for one of the best days of my life. Thank you for being a part of it in any way, it will never be lost on me how blessed I am to live this life. I’m gonna be riding this high for a long time.
The message marks a notable departure from Fletcher’s recent character work as part of the Don Callis Family, where he has established himself as a formidable force since joining the faction.
