Following Full Gear, both Fletcher and Ospreay made it to the semi-finals of the second-ever Continental Classic tournament, with Ospreay picking up the win. Their rivalry continued into AEW Revolution 2025, where they wrestled in a steel cage and Ospreay was able to get a definitive win in the feud.

Though he lost, the feud only elevated Fletcher. He continued working alongside his DCF stablemates for much of the year, building a reputation for himself as a reliably consistent wrestler. After chasing the TNT Championship for months, Fletcher successfully captured the title by defeating Dustin Rhodes on an episode of “AEW Collision,” marking another major milestone in his career.

In the midst of his TNT Championship run, Fletcher challenged “Hangman” Adam Page for the AEW World Championship at All Out – the first time he officially wrestled for the promotion’s top title. Though he came up short, it served as another example of Fletcher coming out of a loss looking better than he did going in.

“That’s what you dream of,” Fletcher said of the match. “That first world title match – those big world title matches, main-eventing pay-per-views – that has been the dream my whole life, to get to that point. Just being presented with that opportunity was crazy to me.”

Fletcher eventually lost the TNT Championship to Mark Briscoe in November 2025, but based on his trajectory over the last few years, it’s just a matter of time before he regains gold in AEW.
