AEW Reports Long-Term Contract for TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher

All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has secured TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher with a new long-term, big-money contract signed quietly in the spring, underscoring Tony Khan's belief in Fletcher as a central figure in AEW's future. The 26-year-old wrestler is currently in his first TNT Championship reign after defeating Dustin Rhodes in a Chicago Street Fight, and he has been actively defending the title, including issuing an open challenge to New Japan Pro Wrestling competitors ahead of the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door event. Fletcher's multi-year deal, negotiated through a representative, is considered substantial especially for his age and positions him as a cornerstone of AEW's long-term plans, signaling the company's commitment to investing in young talent and keeping him away from rival promotions like WWE. Fletcher's continued push and AEW's investment in him highlight his rising status as one of the best young professional wrestlers and a key player in the promotion's future.
