Don Callis Family Friction Between Don Callis & Kyle Fletcher Grows More at Friday’s Rampage Show

Friday’s taped AEW Rampage show featured the Don Callis Family friction between Don Callis and Kyle Fletcher growing.

This friction was initially setup during this past Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show over Callis’ disapproval after Fletcher got involved in Will Ospreay’s business with MJF and called out MJF for a match.

During Friday’s show, Renee Paquette gave a backstage interview with Callis and Fletcher. Fletcher gave his reasons why he came out to protect his friend Ospreay. Callis responding stating that there is friends and there is family and there is no need to put their nose in MJF’s stuff. Before anything else could be said, Brian Cage came out to interrupted leading to some banter between Cage and Fletcher that Callis tried to put a stop to only to be told off by Fletcher. Fletcher then issued a challenge to Cage for a match at Saturday’s Collision show and Cage accepting. After Cage left, an upset Callis questioned why Fletcher was doing this when he has a big match with MJF next week and stated that they don’t get paid by the match.

"The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher wants a warmup match with "The Machine" Brian Cage on #AEW Collision ahead of his bout with MJF next week on #AEW Dynamite!
Is Don Callis on board with this?
