Kyle Fletcher On The Pressure Of Being A Rising Star In AEW: I Am Living My Dream Right Now, I Would Not Have It Any Other Way

Kyle Fletcher discusses the pressure of being a rising star in All Elite Wrestling.

Over the past two years, Kyle Fletcher has rocketed up the AEW card, moving from primarily being a tag team wrestler to being one of the biggest rising stars in All Elite Wrestling, challenging for and capturing titles several times.

While speaking to MAXimum Rock in a new interview, Kyle Fletcher was asked about the pressure of being a rising star in All Elite Wrestling.

“Look, it’s a very it’s a hard thing to talk about just because I don’t want to give this false illusion that this is easy and it comes easy to me because it really doesn’t, man. Being 26 years old, this is all new to me and it all still feels very new to me. I’m really just trying to- I’m trying to figure it out as I go, really, right? So yeah, it’s been my dream my whole life to be in this spot and I’m so grateful to be in the position I am, but it is really hard. It consumes my entire life. I don’t have time for a social life. I don’t have time for other things. I go home and all I want to do is lay on the couch because I’m exhausted. I’ve been traveling, I’ve been wrestling, I have no sleep, I’ve been eating terribly because there’s nothing to eat after I’ve finished wrestling. So it’s like- it’s all these things and it’s all very hard and it becomes very overwhelming when you think about all the pressure that it brings as well as that. But all that is to say, I am living my dream right now. I would not have it any other way. I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. I’m not gonna stop working as hard as I’m working because I love it and I love the grind and I love every single part of it.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Fletcher spoke about his upcoming match with Kevin Knight in the AEW Continental Classic. You can read more about that here.
