Ahead of his TNT Title defense against Mark Briscoe in a ladder match at Saturday’s Grand Slam Australia, Kyle Fletcher appeared on 2GB Sydney with Michael McLaren.
Fletcher talked about the AEW locker room and how much the talent love the company, wanting to see it succeed.
“You have something you’re so passionate about. Like, I left my family, my friends to pursue this crazy dream. So you have, 20, 30 blokes in a locker room that all feel the same way about this super niche interest. Of course, you’re going to have that bond with them. AEW specifically, the locker room vibe is just like I said, we’re just so passionate about it, we love this company, we want to see it succeed so we’re all just egging each other on.”
Fletcher regained the TNT Championship, after defeating Tommaso Ciampa for the belt on the past Wednesday’s Dynamite. Ciampa won the title from Mark Briscoe on the January 31 episode of Collision, only to turn around and drop it 11 days later to Fletcher.
AEW Grand Slam Australia will air on a tape delay Saturday night on TNT and HBO Max, beginning at 8:00 pm ET. The event will emanate from Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.
