Kyle Fletcher
View on GrokipediaEarly life and background
Early life
Kyle Fletcher was born on December 24, 1998, in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.[8] Raised in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney, he developed an early interest in professional wrestling during his childhood in the early 2000s.[9] His fascination began after encountering WWE comics in children's magazines, where wrestlers like Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy captured his imagination; Hardy, in particular, became his primary inspiration upon winning his first world title, solidifying Fletcher's passion for the sport.[10] At the age of 14, in 2013, Fletcher decided to pursue wrestling professionally and began formal training at the PWA Academy in Sydney, affiliated with Professional Wrestling Australia.[1] Under coaches including Madison Eagles, Ryan Eagles, Robbie Eagles, and Travis Banks, his initial regimen focused on foundational athletic conditioning, basic in-ring techniques, and overall physical preparation over the course of about one year.[11] During this period, he first met fellow trainee Mark Davis, with whom he would later form the tag team Aussie Open shortly after his debut.[12]Personal life
Fletcher splits his time between his hometown of Sydney, Australia, where he was born and raised on the Northern Beaches, and the United States, having relocated to Schaumburg, Illinois, in 2023 after signing with All Elite Wrestling (AEW).[13] He frequently travels to Orlando, Florida, near AEW's Performance Center for training. Since 2023, Fletcher has been in a long-term relationship with fellow AEW wrestler Skye Blue.[14] The couple met during AEW Dark tapings in Orlando, where Skye Blue shared an elevator with Billie Starkz and Fletcher, who was shirtless and red from chops received in a match.[15] They connected through their shared work on the independent circuit and AEW events, eventually purchasing a home together in the Chicago area.[13] Fletcher has experienced a notable physical transformation from 2019 to 2025, evolving from a leaner build to a more muscular physique weighing around 220 pounds, achieved through rigorous weight training and structured nutrition plans during his stints in New Japan Pro-Wrestling and AEW.[16] This development complemented his shift to a singles competitor following the 2023 breakup of his tag team Aussie Open with Mark Davis due to injury, fostering a renewed personal focus and confidence.[17] As a fitness enthusiast, Fletcher maintains a dedicated gym routine, often training at facilities near his U.S. residence to support his in-ring performance.[13] In 2023, Fletcher received a contract offer from WWE but declined it in favor of signing with AEW, citing greater creative freedom and opportunities for growth, as well as his commitment to the Don Callis Family stable.[18][19]Professional wrestling career
Early career (2014–2017)
Fletcher made his professional wrestling debut in July 2014 at the age of 15, wrestling around New South Wales for promotions such as Melbourne City Wrestling (MCW) and Pro Wrestling Australia (PWA). During his first year from 2014 to 2015, Fletcher competed in a series of enhancement matches for AWF and local Sydney independent promotions, focusing on building fundamental skills such as basic maneuvers and ring psychology. In early 2016, Fletcher formed the tag team Aussie Open with fellow Australian wrestler Mark Davis under the Melbourne City Wrestling (MCW) promotion. The duo's first major championship pursuit came in mid-2016. Later in 2016, at the age of 17, Fletcher continued developing in Australia.Independent circuit and international excursions (2017–2022)
In 2017, Fletcher returned to the Australian independent wrestling scene, competing in several matches for promotions such as Melbourne City Wrestling (MCW) and Eastern Pro Wrestling (EPW). Teaming with Mark Davis as Aussie Open, they captured their first championship together on February 11, 2017, defeating The Verdict to win the MCW Tag Team Championship in Melbourne; the reign lasted until June 10, 2017, when they lost the titles to The Brat Pack. Their success in Australia helped establish Aussie Open as a rising tag team, blending Fletcher's high-flying athleticism with Davis's power-based style. In 2018, Fletcher and Davis embarked on an extended tour of the United Kingdom and Europe, appearing for promotions like [Westside Xtreme Wrestling](/page/Westside_Xtreme Wrestling) (wXw) in Germany and Revolution Pro Wrestling (RevPro) in the UK. During a RevPro event, Aussie Open challenged for the Undisputed British Tag Team Championship in a high-profile match against Zack Sabre Jr. and Minoru Suzuki, ultimately losing in a hard-fought contest that showcased Fletcher's technical prowess against Sabre Jr.'s submission expertise. The tour included multiple standout performances, including victories over local tag teams in wXw's 16 Carat Gold tournament qualifiers, building their reputation as international contenders and leading to further bookings across the European indie circuit. Fletcher's independent career expanded to North America in 2019, with Aussie Open making their debut for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) at the Battle of Los Angeles tournament. As a team, they competed in non-tournament tag matches, reaching the semifinals stage in a multi-team showcase before falling short, but their dynamic offense impressed fans and promoters alike.[20] Later that year, they appeared for DEFY Wrestling in Seattle, where they won the DEFY Tag Team Championship on February 8, 2020, defeating the previous champions in a match praised for its fast-paced action; the reign extended through the early pandemic period, lasting over 300 days and defended in limited house shows.[21] The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020–2021 forced adaptations in Fletcher's schedule, with Aussie Open participating in virtual events and restricted tours in Australia and New Zealand, including streamed matches for MCW. Fletcher also branched into singles competition, securing his first notable indie singles victory in MCW against local talent Robbie Eagles in a non-title bout that highlighted his versatility beyond tag team wrestling. These efforts maintained momentum despite travel restrictions, allowing them to retain titles and build storylines remotely. As 2022 approached, Fletcher and Davis ramped up appearances on high-profile independent promotions like Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) and WrestleCon events, culminating in a tag team victory over The Briscoe Brothers at a GCW showcase, a match noted for its intense brawling and technical exchanges that elevated Aussie Open's profile ahead of major league opportunities. Over this period from 2017 to 2022, Aussie Open accumulated five tag team titles across various promotions, solidifying their status as one of the top independent tag teams globally and attracting scout attention from larger organizations.New Japan Pro-Wrestling (2019–2023)
Aussie Open, the tag team of Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis, debuted for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) on August 31, 2019, at the Royal Quest event in London, England, where they unsuccessfully challenged the Guerrillas of Destiny (Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa) for the IWGP Tag Team Championship in the main event.[22] This high-profile loss marked their introduction to NJPW's tag team division, establishing them as ambitious challengers against the dominant Bullet Club stable. The duo's early appearances were sporadic, limited to international excursions and occasional tours, as they balanced commitments on the independent circuit.[23] In September 2021, Fletcher and Davis aligned with Will Ospreay's United Empire stable during a Revolution Pro Wrestling event co-promoted with NJPW, adopting a heel persona that emphasized aggressive, no-holds-barred tactics.[23] This affiliation led to their first full Japanese tour in November 2021 at the Battle Autumn series, where they teamed with United Empire members in multi-man matches, securing victories over local talent and building momentum through feuds with established teams like the Guerrillas of Destiny and Chaos. Their portrayal as ruthless invaders intensified rivalries. By 2022, Aussie Open transitioned to more regular bookings on NJPW's American program, NJPW Strong, engaging in non-title defenses and standout performances, including a tag team qualifier for the G1 Climax that highlighted their technical prowess and power-based offense.[24] A pivotal moment came in the summer of 2022 with the NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Championship tournament, where Aussie Open defeated Christopher Daniels and Yuya Uemura in the finals on July 24 to become the inaugural champions, embarking on a dominant reign that included defenses against teams like the Motor City Machine Guns.[25] This success carried into Japan, where they participated in the 2022 World Tag League, posting a strong record with multiple wins over international and domestic pairs, though they fell short of the finals. In 2023, their momentum peaked at Sakura Genesis on April 8, when they dethroned Bishamon (Hirooki Goto and Yoshi-Hashi) to win the IWGP Tag Team Championship in a hard-fought contest, solidifying their status as top contenders. They followed with defenses, including a victory over TMDK (Shane Haste and Mikey Nicholls) on April 29 at Wrestling Satsuma no Kuni, while simultaneously reclaiming the Strong Openweight Tag Team titles on April 15 at Capital Collision in a triple threat match against the Motor City Machine Guns and Hiroshi Tanahashi/Kazuchika Okada.[26][27] Aussie Open's NJPW tenure concluded in mid-2023 following their signing with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in May, prompting an amicable release to prioritize U.S.-based opportunities. They vacated the IWGP Tag Team Championship on June 3, with the titles awarded to new champions at Dominion 6.4 on June 4. Their final match occurred on July 4, 2023, at NJPW Strong: Independence Day Fighting Spirit, where they lost the Strong Openweight Tag Team Championship to Bullet Club War Dogs (Alex Coughlin and Gabe Kidd), ending a record of approximately 45 tag team wins and 32 losses during their time in the promotion.[28]All Elite Wrestling and Ring of Honor (2022–present)
In July 2022, Kyle Fletcher and his tag team partner Mark Davis, collectively known as Aussie Open, signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and its sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH). Their debut culminated at ROH's Death Before Dishonor event on July 23, 2022, where they defeated the Guerrillas of Destiny to capture the ROH World Tag Team Championship in a ladder match. The duo held the titles for nearly four months, defending them successfully against teams such as The Kingdom and The Righteous on ROH programming, before losing them to FTR on the November 21, 2022, episode of AEW Dark: Elevation. Aussie Open transitioned to AEW's main roster, positioning themselves as top contenders in the tag team division. They challenged Swerve In Our Glory for the AEW World Tag Team Championship at Full Gear on November 19, 2022, but fell short in a hard-fought bout. The team continued their pursuit into 2023, competing in high-profile matches including a loss to FTR for the AEW World Tag Team Championship at WrestleDream on October 1, 2023. Internal tensions arose amid mounting losses and Davis's mounting injuries, leading to the dissolution of Aussie Open; Fletcher's alignment shifted toward a singles career following Davis's wrist injury sustained during the WrestleDream match. In June 2023, Fletcher aligned with the Don Callis Family stable during AEW's feud with Kenny Omega, officially joining the group on the October 27, 2023, episode of AEW Rampage after Callis intervened in a match against Swerve Strickland.[29] As a heel under Callis's guidance, alongside members like Konosuke Takeshita and Powerhouse Hobbs, Fletcher contributed to key interferences, including aiding Takeshita against Omega at WrestleDream 2023 and Full Gear 2023. This faction involvement elevated his profile, transitioning him from tag team specialist—honed through prior New Japan Pro-Wrestling experience—to a cunning singles competitor. Fletcher's singles momentum accelerated in 2024, highlighted by his participation in the ROH World Television Championship landscape. He won the vacant title on December 15, 2023, at ROH Final Battle by last eliminating Komander in a Survival of the Fittest match. During his 196-day reign, he defended against challengers including Blake Christian and Willie Mack on ROH on HonorClub, showcasing aggressive technical prowess before losing the belt in an international bout. His AEW singles breakout came at Full Gear on November 23, 2024, where he upset former AEW International Champion Will Ospreay via a low blow followed by a hammerlock DDT, solidifying his heel persona and earning widespread acclaim for the match's intensity.[30] Entering 2025, Fletcher's trajectory intensified within the Don Callis Family, culminating in his capture of the AEW TNT Championship on the July 31 episode of AEW Collision by defeating Dustin Rhodes in a Chicago Street Fight.[31] This victory marked his first AEW singles title, emphasizing his evolution into a main-event threat. He pursued higher stakes by challenging AEW World Champion "Hangman" Adam Page in August and September 2025, building through promos and attacks, including a post-match assault on Page at ROH's Death Before Dishonor.[32] The feud peaked at All Out on September 20, 2025, where Fletcher unsuccessfully challenged for the World Championship in a 35-minute epic, though Page retained via Buckshot Lariat.[33] As TNT Champion through November 2025, Fletcher defended against elite opponents such as NJPW's Hiromu Takahashi at Forbidden Door on August 24 and Mark Briscoe at WrestleDream on October 18, retaining via high-impact maneuvers like the Grimstone, while navigating ongoing Callis Family dynamics.[34][7]Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (2024–present)
Fletcher made his debut for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) on June 28, 2024, during the Viernes Espectacular event at Arena México, where he defended the ROH World Television Championship against Atlantis Jr. in a singles match. Atlantis Jr. defeated Fletcher via submission with La Atlántida to capture the title, ending Fletcher's reign and marking a significant crossover moment between ROH and CMLL.[35] Later in 2024, Fletcher participated in the Gran Prix Internacional tournament on August 23 at Arena México, competing in the traditional torneo cibernetico format alongside other international competitors such as Claudio Castagnoli, Rocky Romero, and Robbie X against a team of CMLL stars. During the match, Fletcher showcased his adaptability to lucha libre rules by executing dynamic rope work, high-flying dives, and multi-man elimination spots, including eliminating Místico with a Michinoku Driver before being eliminated himself by Atlantis Jr.[36][37] Fletcher's 2024 appearances also included tag team showcases integrating AEW and ROH allies against local rudos, highlighting his high-flying exchanges and technical prowess in the Mexican ring. In 2025, he continued his involvement with a return appearance on June 17 at Martes Populares, teaming with Konosuke Takeshita, Hechicero, and Rocky Romero in a losing eight-man tag match against Averno, Euforia, Gran Guerrero, and Último Guerrero. By November 2025, Fletcher had competed in at least six matches for CMLL, emphasizing aerial maneuvers and brief rivalries, such as his interactions with top technicians like Místico during multi-man bouts.[38] CMLL bookers and reviewers praised Fletcher for his rapid adaptation to the promotion's emphasis on fast-paced, acrobatic wrestling and cultural nuances like rudo crowd interactions, positioning him as a special international attraction without pursuing championships. His AEW heel persona translated effectively into rudo alignments, adding intensity to crossover feuds.[39][40]Championships and accomplishments
