With the AEW roster expanding, individual wrestlers often get less screen time, but Kyle Fletcher remains optimistic about some of his peers standing out. In a TMZ Inside The Ring interview, Fletcher mentioned whom he thinks are underrated in AEW. He highlighted Lee Johnson and Blake Christian, recalling his past defenses of the Ring of Honor TV title against Johnson and praising their talent whenever they appear on television. Fletcher also expressed admiration for PAC, one of his all-time favorite wrestlers, noting that despite limited recent singles matches, PAC has an exciting upcoming bout against Darby Allin at Full Gear. Fletcher is eager to see PAC gain more singles opportunities and continue to showcase his skills.
Since redefining himself as the "Protostar" and teaming up with Will Ospreay, Fletcher’s role on AEW TV has grown significantly, and he looks ahead to his TNT Championship run starting in 2025. Meanwhile, Blake Christian and Lee Johnson remain key figures in AEW’s affiliate promotion, Ring of Honor. PAC, a former AEW International Champion and a member of Jon Moxley’s Death Riders, is set to return to AEW All Out after recovering from injury, sporting a fresh look with short hair and a stronger physique.
