Steve Richards feels that Kyle Fletcher needs more seasoning.
The former WWE star talked about the current TNT Champion on his Youtube Channel was complimentary of the AEW star. He sees potential in Kyle Fletcher; however, Richards feels that somebody needs to teach him how to work.
“You know what he looks like to me? He looks like an eventual NXT superstar. He needs seasoning. He needs somebody to teach him how to work. He needs to up his game. He needs to know the psychology of when and when not to do stuff.
And unfortunately, in AEW, I don’t see anybody that’s listened to that could do that. These used to be the Arn Andersons, the Dean Malenkos. You still have a Jerry Lynn there. You have people there that can coach you. But I don’t think—because the culture of AEW is ‘the more you do, the more over you’ll get.’ But that’s not true. That’s why I say eventually he may move laterally or eventually down, and then sign with NXT and be in WWE.”
Kyle Fletcher has been in some of the biggest matches in 2025. Notably, fans are still raving over his bout against Will Ospreay at Revolution. A lot of people may feel differently about Stevie’s comments about him needing some seasoning, but the former WWE star is an old school veteran who has a different view on how wrestling should be. This isn’t to say that Stevie Richards is wrong. He was a pro wrestling for three decades, so he has a lot of more understanding of the business than most of us.
However, so has Don Callis. The AEW star caught wind of Stevie Richards comments and he clearly disagrees.

Don has bigger fish to fry as he’s priming up his TNT Champion for an AEW World Championship match. Fletcher issued a challenge to Hangman Page on Collision this past Saturday, which was officially confirmed on Dynamite this past Wednesday.
