Kyle Fletcher: Hangman Page Is Someone I Have A Lot Of Respect For, I Think I Swum At AEW All Out

Kyle Fletcher has a lot of respect for Hangman Page.

On September 20th, Hangman Page and Kyle Fletcher battled in the main event of AEW All Out for the AEW World Championship. The two men would go 40 minutes, with Page eventually able to put down the TNT Champion for the three count. Hangman would also have praise for Fletcher in the post show media scrum, something that Fletcher took note of.

While speaking to WMUL FM’s Rope Break ahead of tonight’s edition of AEW Collision, Kyle was asked about his bout with Hangman Page at AEW All Out 2025.

“Yeah, I think being 26, my whole kind of career I’ve been- I’ve been the young guy and it’s kind of- I’ve always heard that I’m… I have all this potential that in the future I’ll be a world champion. I am at a point now where I really do think I’m hitting my stride. I think it’s important for me to kind of shake that, that one day I’ll be great one day I’ll be whatever. Cause I think I’m great now. Yeah, it was more so to  test myself as well. I wanted to see if I was ready for that. I mean, I can believe it as much as I want in my own head, but I kind of have to prove it to myself as well. So it was a huge test. I wanted to go out there against the guy in AEW. I did that and I took him, it took 40 minutes for him to beat me. So yeah, I think I swum. I think I proved that I belong in the main event. I didn’t win the World Championship, but I think I proved to a lot of people that it could be coming sooner rather than later.”

Fletcher was then asked about Hangman, with Fletcher noting that he has a lot of respect for Hangman Page.

“Yeah, I mean, like I said, I’ve been watching AEW since its inception. I’ve been watching all of the elite guys for even longer than that. So Hangman is someone I have a lot of respect for. He’s someone that I think has probably one of the most in-depth characters in all of pro wrestling. I look up to him a lot and to hear those words come from him, it kind of reinforces to me that I’m on the right path and I’m heading in the right direction.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Fletcher spoke on how terrified he was to shave his head on live television last year. You can read more about that here.
