Kyle Fletcher nearly captured the AEW TNT Championship on the May 28 episode of “AEW Dynamite.” However, he was disqualified due to interference from the Don Callis family and suffered a dangerous moment when attempting to powerbomb Adam Cole onto the apron. This risky move caused concern backstage, especially given Cole’s history with head injuries and concussions. Despite the initial anger from some, insider Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select clarified that while the spot was reckless, it wasn’t intended to cause harm, and wrestling inherently carries risks. Fletcher reportedly feels bad about the incident, and his strong backstage reputation suggests the issue will soon be put behind them.
Adam Cole seems poised to continue his dominant run in Texas. At the 2025 Fyter Fest on “AEW Collision,” Cole secured a pinfall victory over Rocky Romero from the Don Callis faction. After the match, Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita confronted Cole, Daniel Garcia, and other members of the Paragon stable. Fletcher remains a serious contender for the TNT Championship and, given the events so far, it looks like fans can expect another showdown for Cole’s title in the near future.
Fan Take: This update is crucial for AEW fans because it reassures that behind-the-scenes tensions are being managed professionally, which helps maintain the show’s quality and safety. Fletcher’s rising status and continued rivalry with Cole promise exciting developments and high-stakes matches in AEW’s mid-card title scene.
