Will Ospreay vs. Kyle Fletcher AEW Dynamite match ‘questionable’ due to injury


This story has been updated.
After making his first in-ring appearance as an official AEW roster member a memorable one, Will Ospreay will hope to keep the good times rolling on this Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite.
After his win over Konosuke Takeshita at Sunday’s Revolution, Ospreay was announced as facing United Empire teammate and current Ring of Honor TV Champion Kyle Fletcher in non-title action this Wednesday in Duluth, Georgia.
Ospreay and Fletcher had a brief face-off and show of respect after Ospreay’s match of the year contender with Takeshita.
However, at the post-Revolution press conference, AEW head Tony Khan said the match was “questionable” due to an injury Ospreay suffered following a top rope brain buster that left Ospreay’s back scuffed up.

If it happens, it won’t be the first time the two have gone heads-up with their first-ever clash happening in February 2019 for England indie promotion FCP. The two, and Fletcher’s Aussie Open teammate Mark Davis, eventually become faction-mates in United Empire in the fall of 2021.
All three men are now under AEW contract with Davis currently on the sidelines with an injury.
Ospreay and Fletcher are also teammates in the Don Callis Family as is Takeshita. As of this point, no friction has been teased within the group.
It will be Fletcher’s first match since losing to Chris Jericho on the January 31st Dynamite.
As of this writing, it’s the only match that has been announced for Wednesday’s post-Revolution show that will also feature a new set and updated Dynamite logo.
