# AEW Star Discusses Previous WWE Talks

An AEW star has recalled previous WWE interest, discussing his experience speaking with the company.

[Kyle Fletcher](https://wrestletalk.com/topic/kyle-fletcher/) is currently establishing himself as one of AEW’s most consistent talents, with the former TNT Champion having practically reinvented himself since officially signing with the company in May 2023.

Speaking on [Insight with Chris Van Vliet](https://chrisvanvliet.com/2025/12/16/kyle-fletcher-is-wrestlings-next-big-star-aew-will-ospreay-tnt-championship-hangman-page/), Fletcher revealed that he had contact with WWE ahead of ultimately putting pen to paper with AEW.

Explaining why he didn’t choose to pursue WWE, Fletcher said:

*“We had one kind of official (call). At the time it was myself and Mark Davis as Aussie Open, we had like a Zoom call with them.*

*“We spoke about what the deal would entail, that sort of thing. I think when it got to that point, it just didn’t feel like the right fit at the time.*

*“We didn’t get super close, it was kind of like at the point where there was options there. But AEW was just the right fit for us at the time.”*

Kyle Fletcher is currently competing as part of the Gold League in the Continental Classic tournament.

He most recently wrestled on the December 10 “[Winter is Coming” edition of Dynamite](https://www.allelitewrestling.com/post/aew-dynamite-winter-is-coming-results-december-10-2025), losing to Mike Bailey in tournament action.
