Kyle Fletcher Says His 'Whole Life Has Changed' Since Signing With AEW

Kyle Fletcher has enjoyed a meteoric rise in AEW, which he believes has made a significant impact on his life.

The 27-year-old, who is regarded by many as the future of AEW and the pro wrestling business, has grown by leaps and bounds since joining the promotion in 2022. He recently admitted in an interview with TMZ Sports' "Inside The Ring" that his life has changed since joining AEW, but his drive to succeed in the business and become a world champion remains unchanged.

"From the outside, it seems like everything has changed. My whole life has changed. I sit here in this big-a** lovely house, and anyone from the outside looking in would be like, 'Oh yeah, that's the star. That's the guy. He's made it. He's successful.' But I still feel like an eight-year-old kid. I still see that guy, and I still feel like that guy. A lot of times, I look in the mirror and I still see, you know, 14-year-old Kyle putting on his wrestling gear for the first time. And I think that's part of the reason why I have been so successful is because I will never forget who I really am," added Fletcher. "A lot of my life has changed, but I still feel like the same guy."

The Aussie star has acknowledged that his success in AEW is not solely down to his hard work but also the contributions of others in the promotion, including his on-screen manager, Don Callis.

"I think I am very aware that I've put in a lot of work myself," he said. "Don Callis has been so valuable in his mindset, helping me find my confidence in the ring, in life, in all of it. He's really helped me grow into the man that I am, and I know I wouldn't be in this position without him."

Fletcher added that he believes in his abilities to take him to the promised land of winning the AEW World Championship, which he hopes to achieve when he faces Will Ospreay at this weekend's Full Gear pay-per-view.
