Kyle Fletcher has revealed he avoided surgery for the meniscus tear and bone fractures he suffered in March, describing the news as a relief given initial projections had put his chances of needing an operation at 90 percent.
Fletcher announced the update in a vlog posted online.
“I don’t have to have surgery. Awesome news. I was given initially 90 percent chance of surgery. No surgery required. Just healing.”
Fletcher tore his meniscus and suffered fractures in his ankle and the top of his tibia during a tag match on the March 28 episode of Collision, vacating the AEW TNT Championship as a result. He was cleared to begin ring work on May 15 and cleared by AEW doctors shortly after, allowing him to return at Double or Nothing on Sunday — where he immediately turned on Konosuke Takeshita following Takeshita’s AEW International Championship win.
After the show, Fletcher reflected on coming back.
“We’re back on the job. All of a sudden, it’s just — I’m back to being on the road, back to my old life. It’s very exciting. It feels like a chapter has closed today, and now I get to look forward. Bright horizons, happy days ahead. I get to go back to living my dream, loving life, traveling the world, and dropping people on their f***ing heads, which I love to do.”
