Kyle Fletcher understands the criticism of his spot with Jon Moxley.
The Don Callis Family member landed on his neck while taking a top rope dragon suplex from Mox during their Worlds Ends match. The spot attracted a lot of negative reactions. A day after the PPV, William Regal made a lengthy post explaining the need for talent to protect themselves. Regal did not mention anyone by name and received a lot of support from the wrestling world on the sentiment.

During a recent interview with Nine Sports, the former TNT Champion addressed the incident. Kyle Fletcher admitted that the spot did not go as planned and said that he understands everyone\'s concerns:
“Of course, I have to take it [criticism] on board. Obviously, it didn’t go to plan, I understand all the points that everyone is making – it was very dangerous.\"
Kyle Fletcher explained that judging the danger was difficult for him while the match was ongoing because he did not feel anything out of the ordinary in the moment. He knew that he had landed a bit higher on the neck than intended but he felt fine despite the awkward landing:
“The referee came over and usually they will check on you once and you’re like ‘yeah no worries, it’s all good’ but then he came over a second time and asked again, which makes me think that there was maybe someone in his ear saying ‘make sure he’s OK’.
The AEW star noted that he only realised the error while watching the spot back later on. He also claimed that he was battered and bruised coming out of the match with the Death Riders leader, but it was nothing more than what he\'s used to dealing with as a pro wrestler.
