Kyle Fletcher Reveals Reason for His Betrayal & Attack on Will Ospreay

Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show in Salt Lake City, Utah featured Kyle Fletcher revealing his reason for his recent betrayal and attack on Will Ospreay breaking up their friendship.

During the show, Tony Schiavone was in the ring and proceeded to welcome Don Callis & Fletcher who came out and made their way to the ring. Callis grabbed the microphone and stated Kyle is ready to speak. Fletcher grabbed the microphone from Callis and stated that these people can boo all they want but he only wants to talk to Ospreay. Fletcher talked about Ospreay losing the AEW International Championship 11 days ago and the time he’s been spending in the hospital all while wondering “why, Kyle, why?” Fletcher stated that makes him happy and what the people don’t realize is they are just as much to blame as Will is.

Fletcher then talked about all the hype around him being the next Will Ospreay when he debuted in AEW and he took every comparison as an insult. Fletcher stated that he is better than Ospreay in every single way and talked about when he joined United Empire under Ospreay’s ring. This led to the crowd chanting “wrap it up” and Fletcher responding stating that Callis bought all the TV time in the world for him to speak so they will listen. Fletcher than talked about why he left New Japan to join AEW and brought up Ospreay’s history with Kazuchika Okada & Kenny Omega. After some more words, Fletcher stated that he saw the writing on the wall and realized what he had to do to get out from Ospreay’s shadow using the same lesson Ospreay taught him.

Fletcher then stated that Callis helped him realize that Ospreay is far too selfish and issued a challenge to Ospreay for a match next week. This led to the crowd responding chanting “shut the f*** up” and Fletcher continuing stating that he promises to send Ospreay back to the hospital with Tiger Driver after Tiger Driver. Fletcher stating that he will prove that he is the one and only Kyle Fletcher and if he wants to stand atop the mountain of AEW, he must be nothing like Ospreay.

This led to Fletcher taking off his shirt and Callis pulling out a hair trimmer for him to use. Fletcher proceeded to start shaving off hair and stated that he is nothing like Will Ospreay.

This led to Taylor making a surprise appearance coming out and informing Mark Briscoe that it was time for his Ladder War match against Chris Jericho. This then led to Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly, and Orange Cassidy starting to walk back into the venue only for Taylor to stop Cassidy. Taylor gave some words of encouragement to Cassidy talking about their past history of living together until AEW came along and he doesn’t know who had what it takes to stand up to the BCC, but he does Cassidy does and it’s dam time he shows it. Taylor and Cassidy then proceeded to leave together.

In a follow-up segment, Jon Moxley and his group showed up at the end of the show and proceeded to take out Daniel Garcia & Private Party following Garcia and Private Party’s victory over the Elite. Moxley came out to the ring dragging Taylor with him and tossed him into the ring. Claudio Castagonli placed a chair on Taylor’s left but before he could do anything else, Wheeler Yuta pulled the chair off leading to Castagnoli putting it back but on Yuta’s neck instead. Castagnoli then proceeded to stomp onto the chair as Cassidy ran out trying to save his friend to no avail. Moxley and his group then left the ring and through the crowd as the rest of AEW’s locker room ran out to chase them off while AEW officials and medics rushed to the ring to attend to Taylor.

Following Briscoe hitting a Froggy Bow off the ladder onto Jericho through a table, Big Bill ran out and stopped Briscoe from climbing up the ladder again to grab his ROH World title. Bill then gave a chokeslam to Briscoe sending him out of the ring and through a set of tables on the outside. Bill then placed Jericho on his shoulders and climbed up the ladder leading to Jericho unhooking the title to become the new champion.

This led to HOOK having enough time to recover and brawled with Wayne again that ended with Cage striking HOOK in the back with his AEW World title contract container. This led to Wayne laying out HOOK with a Wayne’s World that was followed by Cage hitting a Killswitch onto his title shot container. Cage then told a knocked out HOOK that its not what it seems before leaving with The Patriarchy.
