AEW has secured a significant long-term contract for one of its rising stars, TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher. According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, insiders within AEW confirmed that Fletcher quietly signed the new deal this past spring. The negotiations were conducted through his representative, underscoring Tony Khan’s view of Fletcher as a key figure in AEW’s future plans. One source even described Fletcher as central to AEW’s long-term vision.
This contract ensures Fletcher stays with AEW, rather than moving to WWE, which has been home to several former TNT champions, including the inaugural champion Cody Rhodes who returned to WWE in 2022, and Milo, who also rejoined WWE earlier this year. Currently in his first reign, Fletcher won the TNT title by defeating Dustin Rhodes on the July 31 episode of AEW Collision. With both the championship and the new contract secured, fans can look forward to seeing much more of Kyle Fletcher in AEW.
Fan Take: This signing is a huge win for AEW, highlighting their commitment to nurturing new talent and building star power internally. For fans, it signals exciting potential storylines and showcases a bright future for AEW’s championship scene, elevating the overall quality and competitiveness of the sport.
