Tony Khan is hopeful that Kyle Fletcher can return in a few months.
The Don Callis Family member had to relinquish his TNT championship due to a meniscus injury confirmed on this week's Dynamite. With reports suggesting that the young star will be taking care of some other nagging issues during his hiatus as well, fans were worried that we might not see the Protostar back in a wrestling ring this year.
The AEW President was asked about Kyle Fletcher during the AEW Dynasty media call. Tony Khan noted that he is trying to look at the positives of the situation and revealed that they are hoping for the injured star to be back in time for the All In event in August:
Kyle Fletcher is expected to be out for months. I’m looking at it glass half full, because we were very concerned when he got hurt. He’s a very important wrestler for AEW and was involved in many plans, including AEW Dynasty. The positive is that I don’t expect him to be out for a year, and I’m optimistic he could return in time for AEW All In at Wembley Stadium. I think that’s a realistic goal.
The company has announced a Casino Gauntlet match to determine the new TNT Champion at the PPV this Sunday. Tommaso Ciampa has earned the #1 spot in the bout after defeating Máscara Dorada in a match on the April 8 Dynamite.
While Kyle Fletcher will not be able to make it to the event, there is another former champion who is teasing his return at the Dynasty PPV. You can check out more about it here.
