Kyle Fletcher Returned to AEW After Avoiding Surgery for March Injury

Kyle Fletcher confirmed he was able to return to AEW without surgery after suffering a torn meniscus and fractures to his ankle and the top of his tibia on the March 28 episode of Collision. While the fractures were always expected to heal on their own and doctors initially gave a 90% chance the meniscus tear would require surgery, Fletcher announced in a vlog, “I don’t have to have surgery,” and completed a recovery regimen of rest, physical therapy, home workouts, cardio and nutrition.

Cleared to begin in-ring work on May 15 and later fully cleared by his physical therapist and AEW doctors, Fletcher made his comeback at Double or Nothing, turning on Konosuke Takeshita and targeting the new AEW International Champion. “We’re back on the job… Bright horizons, happy days ahead,” he said after the show, calling his return a closed chapter and a return to living his dream.
