Kyle Fletcher Believes A Match With Ilja Dragunov In AEW Is ‘Inevitable’

Kyle Fletcher believes a potential match with Ilja Dragunov in AEW is inevitable, and that he would be disappointed if it doesn’t happen.

Since arriving in All Elite Wrestling, Ilja has been facing off with several of AEW’s stars, including The Beast Mortos and Speedball Mike Bailey. One former opponent would like a crack at Dragunov, and believes it is inevitable.

While speaking to TMZ Sports in a new interview, Kyle Fletcher discussed the idea of facing off with Ilja in AEW.

“I think I would be incredibly disappointed if it never happened. I would like to think it will happen sooner rather than later. I have always thought the world of Ilja. We had a few matches when we were both on the UK independent scene in, I believe, 2019 and 2020. Obviously, we’ve been on incredibly different paths since then, and it’s pretty cool that now our paths have aligned again. I’m so excited to see what he can accomplish, the matches that he can put on, the people that he could get in the ring with. I think there’s a lot of magic to be made there, and I think whenever we get in the ring, I think it’s inevitable. I think it’ll be magic, too.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Fletcher would speak about the idea of him branching out into the world of acting. You can read more about that here.
