Will Ospreay's Rival Shaves Head to Avoid Comparison

Kyle Fletcher, a member of the Aussie Open tag team and rival of Will Ospreay, has taken a bold step to distance himself from the AEW star. On the October 23rd, 2024 edition of AEW Dynamite, Fletcher shaved his head, signaling that he no longer wanted to be compared to Ospreay.

What happened?

Fletcher's decision to go bald was a powerful moment for the wrestler, according to his partner Mark Davis. In an interview with Fightful Overbooked's In The Weeds, Davis praised Fletcher's move, saying, "I think for him, it was just the moment that he took control of his future in a lot of ways. Put his foot down, planted it and said that, 'I'm Kyle Fletcher. I'm going to make my own path inside of this. I'm not going to do it in the shadow of any other person' Ospreay or anybody else."

Why it matters for Will Ospreay

Fletcher's decision to shave his head is a clear indication that he is trying to establish his own identity in the wrestling world, separate from Ospreay's. This move could potentially impact their rivalry, as Fletcher may now be seen as a more formidable opponent.

What comes next?

The future of the rivalry between Will Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher remains uncertain. However, one thing is clear: Fletcher's decision to shave his head has sent a powerful message to the wrestling world. As Davis noted, "he looks pretty good bald, bald by choice, pretty powerful choice to make and he pulls it off."

In related news, Will Ospreay recently commented on the potential for a Mark Davis world title reign in the future.
