Kyle Fletcher reveals two of AEW’s locker room leaders

Kyle Fletcher names AEW’s two locker room leaders.

Since its launch in 2019, All Elite Wrestling has emerged as a major rival to WWE. Co-founded by Cody Rhodes, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and Tony Khan, the promotion initially boasted veterans like Jon Moxley and Chris Jericho, among others. Now, nearly six years later, current TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher has identified Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy as key leaders within the locker room.

Speaking to TMZ’s Inside The Ring, Fletcher said, “I don’t necessarily like the term ‘locker room leader’ because it’s not like one person stands in the middle of the locker room every time and goes like, ‘clean up your trash.’” With a direct bash at The Undertaker, Fletcher continued, “It’s not like Undertaker in the 90s. It just doesn’t really exist nowadays. I think there are certain people that everyone else just looks to and respects. It’s a very natural and organic thing.”

Emphasizing Moxley and Cassidy’s reputation in the locker room, the youngster said, “I think the one that is the most obvious right now is maybe like Jon Moxley. Mox is just one of those people that he lives and breathes AEW and just wants it to succeed more than anything and he’s always another one of those people that is always around and always there to offer some super cool insight, that you might not normally think of. Another one is Orange Cassidy since coming back, he’s been a great guy that people can look to and really respect and lead by example.”

Fletcher joined All Elite Wrestling in 2022 and has since then been a regular part of the roster. The 26-year-old rose to prominence after breaking up with Will Ospreay and starting his own path. Currently, the TNT Champion recently retained his title against Scorpio Sky on the November 15th edition of Collision.

Kyle Fletcher calls out Stevie Richards’ comments on Logan Paul

A few days ago, former WWE and ECW star Stevie Richards heaped praise on Logan Paul. He claimed that the part-time wrestler/full-time influencer is better than “everybody in AEW”.

However, the comments were not taken lightly by Fletcher, who said, “I don’t know if he believes that wholeheartedly.” In his interview with TMZ, Fletcher added, “If he does, like I said, everyone’s entitled to their opinion. I think that opinion is bullsh*t personally. I think the roster that we have at AEW, the matches that are that you see on a weekly, bi-weekly, like monthly basis—I am astounded. Like, I can’t even keep up. Like, I watch one match that I go that’s the best match I’ve seen this year. And then the next week I’ll see the another match that I think is the best match this year. It’s just it’s an absurd, it’s an absolutely absurd claim to make.”
