Kyle Fletcher

[9.0] "The most improved wrestler this year. He put on an entire bag of muscles in a freakishly short timespan, his in-ring accumen has improved considerably, & his promos are impactful & badass. His match with Adam Page at the last PPV was a goddamn barnburner, as are all his PPV matches this year. Unusual that I'm this impressed with a talent this quickly."

[9.0] "Kyle Fletcher is literally one of the best wrestlers in AEW. I used to hate the guy and I believed he was undeservingly pushed, but now, he's had me convinced he's the future, his guy just can't stop having bangers. His feud with Ospreay was amazing and really committed himself as the next big star in AEW"

[10.0] "Kyle Fletcher is a Top 3 wrestler in AEW right he's also one of the best wrestlers in the world, and the best wrestler under 30. Kyle the total package The Look, In-ring ability, promos he got it all."

[10.0] "As of 2026, I think this guy is a 10/10 product and one of AEW's upper echelon. His look, in ring ability, and match psychology are all absurdly good. Last month he was the MVP of the C2 with his matches against Speedball and Moxley - he deserves a World Championship run this year."

[10.0] "I hope Kyle doesn't hurt himself seriously. I really do see Kyle not just as the future but as one of the best present. He's got it all and is only getting better. His style in ring is so fucking intense however that some matches I legit don't know if he will be able to wrestle again. Don't get me wrong, I love it, I just don't want to see him retire or worse before the age of 30. I can't wait until Kyle is the champ, because he will be soon"

[10.0] "As of writing this, I think Kyle Fletcher might be my favorite wrestler to watch at the moment. His matches are insane and I love how much intensity he's brought to his wrestling since his heel turn. And I think he's gotten over to the point where he'll have one hell of a face run soon."

[9.0] "I swear my thesis was shorter than some reviews here. My The sky is the limit for this guy! He was great in Aussie Open but since becoming a singles wrestler we've seen him grow not only in the ring but on the mic as well. His feud with Ospreay shows that if it's done right, wins and losses don't always matter. He already has over a decade of experience and is on an upward trajectory and keeps getting better in the ring and on the mic."

[10.0] "One of the most exciting (hopefully) future main eventers in AEW. Great ring ability, pacing, moveset, and charisma on the mic and in the ring. Fletchlights rise up!"

[9.0] "Kyle Fletcher feels like a wrestler who has already outgrown the "prospect" label. His in-ring work is consistently sharp, athletic, and purposeful, blending modern pacing with fundamentals that make his matches easy to invest in. What really stands out is his growth as a singles performer--he no longer feels like "the other half" of a great tag team, but a complete act who can carry long matches and meaningful feuds. His heel work is confident without being forced, his selling is underrated, and his offense always looks crisp and believable. While there's still room to elevate his character work to true top-tier levels, his trajectory is clearly upward, and he feels like a future world-title-level performer rather than just a standout hand."

[9.0] "Kyle Fletcher has outgrown a promotion he hasn't won a world title in apparently, that's pretty strange. Either way, the best young wrestler under 30 in the west and is a convincing top heel in AEW. I need him to repeat his 2025 performance to get a true 10 from me."

[5.0] "Actually, I don't think Kyle Fletcher is such a bad wrestler. Among his positives, I can highlight his gimmick -- he really looks good as a heel in the ring; he's a professional when it comes to interacting with the crowd. Of course, based on my profile, it might seem like I consider Kyle the worst wrestler in human history, but that's not the case. That title belongs to Will Ospreay. But the difference between Kyle Fletcher and Will Ospreay is that at least Kyle hasn't shown matches where he hits his woman and acts like it's cool -- that's a plus. And I've seen various interviews with him, and he's a good guy. He explains his stance on completely different topics in different ways and communicates his point pretty clearly. For example, when asked why he wears pink gear, the dude explained that wrestlers before him, who are considered cult figures in the wrestling industry, wore gear of that color, but for some reason, the criticism comes specifically at him. Yeah, his problem is probably his voice. But everyone speaks with the voice they have. For example, I really love Liv Morgan, but back in 2018-2019, even I thought her voice was an issue. But that didn't stop her from becoming an incredible and badass wrestler. Now she's cutting some really cool promos. As for Kyle Fletcher's matches, most of them -- except for one recent match with Briscoe -- are absolute trash. He gets deadly head or neck moves done on him, but he keeps running and jumping. Even in the match with Mark Briscoe, which I liked, he didn't sell the aftermath of that spot on the table and kept running. I didn't rate him immediately when I first came to this site. I'm not fully familiar with his career, and I understand I might be biased or subjective. I waited long enough to form an opinion: when he's done with the TNT title, for example. After he lost the championship, I thought he'd get better, and I was ready to rate him higher. But he keeps showing zero matches with Okada and Bailey. And he's falling into the same trap again. I understand he's young and physically well-built, and maybe he needs the right opponent to bring out the best in him, not Mike Bailey or Kazuchika Okada. But for now, his matches are a huge problem -- not just for him but for entire shows. When their feud with Ospreay was announced, I thought he'd replace him and improve, but in their match at Full Gear, he managed to look even worse than Ospreay. By the way, on one of the wrestling resources, there's a poll for the Wrestler of the Year. And in the same bracket with Kyle Fletcher, there's MJF, who was getting almost the same number of votes as Fletcher. Many people are genuinely baffled by this. Most are leaning towards the idea that MJF had the worst year of his career, despite the fact that he had truly iconic matches with Mark Briscoe and Mistico, which are better than all of Fletcher's matches. He's literally now recognized as the Homelander of all wrestling, or at least AEW. At such a young age, he already has a strong Heel status, which allows him to promote other wrestlers and give them a serious boost, like what happened with Mark Briscoe. And he probably simply outgrew the promotion he's in, where there's nothing left for him to do, just like Jon Moxley. Can Fletcher boast the same right now? The question is rhetorical."

[10.0] "just putting a 10 right now because, even more than right now, he's gonna be among the very best on earth in the wrestling sphere, he's already got it all, he just have to sharpen everything but he's just so good with everything"

[10.0] "One of the best in the world today. Watching the rise Fletcher has had is kind of unbelievable. He went from a good/great tag worker, to this future stadium show main event top guy, and it happened seemingly overnight. His instincts as a heel are second to none in modern wrestling, he really just gets it. "The protostar" is a fitting nickname. He is everything you could possibly want in a worker."

[10.0] "I'm mostly a fed fan... just what I grew up on. And I admittedly tried to force myself to dislike this guy. But holy sh*t man... he's undeniable. One of the best in the world today."

[10.0] "Future Star. To me Kyle fletcher is what wrestling should be. An absolute video game character, not only in how he looks, but in how fast twitch, and strong he is. He is already one of the best kickout artists in the game and can go for days. Not to mention being a very good promo to boot. This guy is not a future star. He is already a star."

[10.0] "This guy could already be a main eventer in any wrestling company at 26. I really didn't see it coming because he was not really shining with Aussie Open but he improved really fast, cutting his hair, being paired with Don Callis really and let's be honest taking some vitamins really catapulted his carreer. He is an excellent in ring wrestler and has great charisma."

[10.0] "He is one of my favorite wrestlers under 30. He's improved so much over the 7 years of his wrestling career. The singles run was needed."

[9.0] "Improved so damn much and completely blew out as one of the best in AEW. One of my personal favorite from 2025, just like many of us. Full package of the superstar, his latest theme song is the last piece of how great he is. Phenomenal."

[10.0] "Sometimes you get to watch a wrestler grow in real time, and I got to see Fletcher go from the high flyer from Aussie Open with potential, signed to AEW as part of the tag team division - only for an injury to Mark Davis to allow Fletcher to show his skills as a singles star. Since then, he's become ROH World TV Champion, TNT Champion, and challenged for the AEW World Championship in the main event spot on a PPV. Sky is the limit for Fletcher at 26, as he continues to improve match by match and promo by promo."

[9.0] "This man was not on my radar early last year, and now I want nothing but everything for this man. Insanely talented, a great heel, and all around found his place at and beyond the Don Callis Family. Good fucking shit."

[9.0] "The ProtoStar Kyle Fletcher is (alongside Takeshita) and this is not an understatement the future of the industry at just 26 years only and having only been a singles a pure singles wrestler on tv since after Wrestledream 2023 when Mark Davis who with Kyle were already one of the best tag team in the business got injured, which has turned out to be a blessing in disguise for the career of Kyle. As it has allowed him to show the world what an amazing singles wrestler and my breakout star of 2024, From his 4 matches and amazing feud with Ospreay which ended at Revolution in a Star making performance for him in a MOTYC to his series with Mark Briscoe and his Work in the Continental Classic he has shown he is not an Ospreay clone but in fact he is the real deal. He has the in-ring ability along with his lethal top rope brainbuster finish, the look and the charisma on the mic to go all the way to the top of the industry and hopefully he will get his first AEW singles gold in the coming months, I have rated him around an 8.5 but that will only continue to rise as he goes from The ProtoStar into the Big Star. Right i am back to this post All out and this man has just gone to another level that includes his TNT title street fight win vs Dustin in one of the best TV matches of the year. He is 26 years old and showed on saturday why he deserves to main event any shiow in wrestling and i would say he made a certain former lower midcarder with a shit podcast look very stupid. I had Kyle around an 8.5 back when i first wrote this but he is easily a 9.25/10 now and the scary part is i see him becoming the complete package and a 10/10 beofre the end of 2026"

"one of the best wrestlers in the world today. going to hold the TNT title for a good while and then dare i say the AEW men's world title in the future"

[9.0] "This kid has it all and he's only 26. He was already a phenomenon in tag, but as a singles competitor... wow. I think the feud with Ospreay, even though he lost, elevated him to a main eventer and the future of the company. I don't know if he'll make it this year, but soon he's going to be World Champion because the future is definitely his. His matches are spectacular, his presence is perfect, he reminds me of a young Randy Orton and honestly, in the ring (if I may) he's even better. One of the main reasons to watch AEW."

[9.0] "The character is so easy to hate, he's by far the worst of the don Callis family, full of ego and has at one time or another screwed over almost every fan favorite on the roster. He plays the character very well. In the ring though, is where she shines. One of the most talented in ring. If this character continues he has the potential to become one of the biggest heels in wrestling."

[10.0] "He deserves nothing less than 10! The Protostar is a future world champion and anyone that can't accept this fact is just ignorant and unaware of our PROTOSTARRR!"

[9.0] "Kyle Fletcher is a very good wrestler and a charismatic heel. He can do so much for a guy his size and his strikes and grapples are excellent. and his in-ring mannerisms are unique and fun. He's also good on the mic, and his selling is as good as his execution when he's actually doing it. Only issue is I don't particularly care to watch his matches as the majority of them have no build or storylines. It's as if he's just thrown in the ring to wrestle nonsense matches for no reason. I think what he really needs is to enter some kind of feud with high stakes, maybe against someone who will really make him sell because many of his matches lately have had little to no in ring psychology. That would probably make him more fun to watch."

[9.0] "Kyle Fletcher has all the makings of being "the guy" for me. I thought Aussie Open were one of the best tag teams on the UK scene early in his career, but he never really stood out for me as a singles guy. The work he's put in since moving to the states doesn't go unnoticed. His physique is fantastic, he has a great look and carries himself with real main event level confidence. I think he is a brilliant heel but can easily see him being top babyface somewhere. His in-ring work is excellent, he can hang with the best of them (which is regularly does). Give him a few years and I see this being a 10."

[8.0] "At first, I was skeptical on the idea of Kyle Fletcher as an in ring performer. Sure, he was the highlight of Aussie Open but I thought he's a tag team guy for life. I'm sorry, I wasn't familiar with your game man. Fletcher has been knocking it out the park as a heel. He has a great look and is in the best shape of his carrer physically. He's a good heel as the Ospreay feud really made him hated. The matches with Ospreay and the Trilogy of Excellent matches he had with Mark Briscoe proves that Fletcher is a star for the future. Great talent"

[10.0] "Complete package. I admit I didn't think he have all this in him as a member of Aussie Open. Once he started to do single stuff it was obvious that he had infinite potential, he just needed to find a look and a clear personality and he did that in record time. Probably my favorite wrestler today. Everything he does looks like he is murdering his opponent, just great."

[6.0] "He's someone who the AEW hardcores have really taken a liking to. But I'm not as high on him as those fans. Sure he's solid in the ring & I appreciate the fact that he got very in shape since becoming a singles wrestler. But the area he lacks is in natural charisma. To me, it feels like so much of his push has come thanks to using the rub from Ospreay. And don't get me wrong, getting the rub from a coworker is not a bad thing. But I just don't find that rub paying off in a way that it hopefully might. I also tend to think his matches are overbooked & almost always go too long. This is again, an area that fans in attendance always go crazy for. But it's not always the best for making a complete television show. I also hate his nickname of the "Protostar". It comes off as a dork who's trying too hard to sound cool."

[8.0] "[7.4 on 8/9/24] Fletcher very much feels like a guy who's missing just that last piece to stardom. Was amazing in Aussie Open and has really come into his own as a singles guy in ROH and AEW with the absence of Mark Davis. Super athletic for a guy his size, good moveset, and consistently great in the ring. He's still a little lacking on the microphone, but at 25, he still has at least a decade to fully mature as a performer. He seems like a guy who's going to be remembered as this generation's AJ Styles, and I can't wait to see where he goes in a year or two. EDIT 4/28/25: [8.4] He's finally put it all together. Him getting to work heel with the finally good again Don Callis Family has done wonders for him. He's absolutely going to be AEW's top heel of the next generation, and I can think of no one better for the role or more deserving. The sky is truly the limit for Fletcher."

[9.0] "a long time ago, I said that this guy is so fucking amazing and has a very bright future ahead of him and as of now, you are watching one of the best wrestlers in the world today! amazing in-ring skills, good on the mic, fantastic finisher and also has the potential to turn a dead match into a brutal and exciting banger! but I'm still waiting for a much more suitable and stable character for him."

[9.0] "Hard to believe he's not even 27 and he's rocketed from being a very good tag team wrestler to one of the best singles wrestlers in the world. Not many are better in the ring today than Kyle. On the mic he's a work in progress but he's improved greatly. This guy could be the face of any company for the next 10+ years."

[10.0] "I would have ranked him a solid 7 with Aussie Open. I would have upped it to 8 early in his singles run, and then a 9 as he just kept getting better and better. I just sat ringside for his match with Brody, and came away thinking "this guy is incredible". I'm going full 10, because I was so impressed by his work up close. I kept trying to think of who he reminds me of and was really struggling until it hit me. Rick Rude. He reminds me of Rick Rude. In any just universe, this guy is a future world champion."

[9.0] "This guy is the future of wrestling. Future AEW world champ he is so good he has that cool factor and is incredible in ring"

[10.0] "An incredible wrestler. He has really improved a lot over the last few years and in this last period in AEW he is shining. He always offers great performances, he has a great moveset and he has a great character. His feud with Will Ospreay was simply incredible, and the final match in the Steel Cage was absurd. Truly a great wrestler, I hope he can become the top-star of AEW in the future."

[6.0] "In-ring, he's probably an 8-9, but his character needs some work. So far, he's got a very bland character, who's jealous of his better "older brother." Real original. I don't ever see him working as a babyface. The whiny voice, the punchable face, and the obvious steroid usage in 2025 makes him very unlikable. So hopefully he's able to work on the character part of his game and develop it into something more. He's in a weird position right now where he's getting matches with the best-of-the-best in Will Ospreay, yet he's definitely not at the point where he's ready to surpass guys like Hangman, Swerve, Kenny, Mox, or MJF in terms of being the main attraction. His booking isn't his fault, but I hope it doesn't hurt him. I would be having him dominate ROH instead of being in the mid-card on AEW proper, because I certainly don't think he's ready to take that next step just yet. There are a lot of people ahead of him in line to the top."

[8.0] "Ability wise, he's seriously good for someone of his age and should be destined for the upper echelons of the card probably sooner rather than later. Stood out even as a bland babyface in terms of physicality and curious moveset. Few minor niggles character wise, should shut up a bit in ring and not sure how he gets so much mic time as he says little of any interest - that's half the point of being associated with Callis / Cyrus. And the best heels, even good ones, don't have to try so hard. Must be trusted by the other guys as a Tombstone from the apron, Tiger Driver and current turnbuckle Brainbuster finisher leave zero margin for any errors. 8 for now."

[9.0] "Tied with Swerve, he was the breakout star of 2024. I will freely admit that I did not expect him to have this kind of run but he's a certified (proto)star. He can be AEW's top heel. He went from someone i didn't really think about too much to somebody that I need and want to see regularly. There are few people I'm as excited to watch than Kyle."

[10.0] "This man is an absolute megastar in the making. As someone who has watched this man develop from a young guy on the British independents, seen him blossom in Japan as an excellent tag wrestler under the mentorship of Will Ospreay, to finally breaking out in 2024 into singles stardom, the sky is the limit for Kyle, and has already shown that he has all the tools necessary to be one of AEW's main event lynchpins for the next decade or more."

[10.0] "this dude has jumped LEAPS AND BOUNDS since the first time i saw him in 2018, he's became a great promo, a good character worker, a more balanced/better in ring worker, bulked up and changed his look up enough to look like a star while still showing that he's the same guy, and with the guy still being only 26, the only thing that he can do is get even better in these attributes, i'm super behind the proto-star and i see him as an absolute future star"

[8.0] "I always liked him even during the time where he lacked Charisma, he's very good in the ring and a really good character worker, he was easily the MVP of the Continental classic, he's only 26, so he has a lot of time to offer more"

[8.0] "I really want to put a 9 here, because I am so unbelievably behind him. Dude is 26 years old and is in the best shape of his life, putting everything together in ring, and finally putting a great character behind his act. Him turning on Will was the best thing to happen to him, as it allowed for AEW to finally have a top heel that they can invest time into and can mold a company around him and Ospreay. The only reason he is at 8 and not 9 is because its still really early in his push and I want to see if TK can actually carry his momentum through the rest of the year."

"[8.80] way too underrated he is him i know its hot take but he is better then ospreay he is just too damn good for aew he need push big push like takeshita tony pleas dont fumble this guy."

[10.0] "2018: Maybe I need to watch more but the two times I watched him, I couldn? t even continue watching the match. I know he? s young and could still improve a lot but for now he does nothing for me, his offence seems like it wouldn? t hurt a fly. I mean him punching EVIL and SANADA while I? m supposed to take it seriously was very off-putting 5/10............2024: Oh boy, either he improved by leaps and bounds or I'm an absolute idiot but anyway Kyle Fletcher is the real deal and should hold gold in 2025 ASAP, maybe even in 2024. 10/10 The Real Deal."

[10.0] "His rise in the past year is something truly to behold. You can tell by just looking at him that he's bulked up and is ready for the next step. Super athletic, getting more and more confident, his recent matches are almost unmissable. All that and he's only 25. Incredible talent."

[8.0] "After seeing his match against Full Gear against Will Ospreay, I'm behind this brand-new & improved version of Fletcher from becoming the Aussie Arrow to The Protostar he's stepping into a role of becoming his own person with such attitude and a good set of moves to back him up! Need to see how far he goes in terms of Promo-work but with time I see him becoming a solid pillar for AEW"

"Kyle Fletcher is the GOAT. Great looks throughout his time since appearing in NJPW, good style of wrestling, solid all around"

[9.0] "Getting better and better and has a potential to be World Champion one day. He is probably going to grow into a 10 one day, and looking forward to see him growing into his potential."

[10.0] "He improved A LOT. Fletcher started as a tall guy who do good kicks and that's it, but now I can tell he's a very complete wrestler. From good striking to good aerial moves, watching him grow like one of the bests in Australia sure gives me hopes to watch him main event more"
