Kyle Fletcher Calls AEW Revolution Spanish Fly Most Terrifying Thing He’s Ever Done

Kyle Fletcher’s jaw-dropping Spanish Fly off the top of the steel cage at AEW Revolution isn’t just one of the most viral moments of 2025—it’s one he almost couldn’t get out of his own head about.

During an interview with Denise Salcedo, the AEW star broke down what led to the high-risk move that defined his brutal cage match against Will Ospreay. Fletcher admitted the pressure going into the match was intense, both creatively and personally. It was the first time he felt like he had full ownership of a storyline—and he didn’t want to blow it.

“It was, again, one of those big pressure moments. There was a lot of pressure, obviously intrinsically, just that I put on myself. It was my first kind of opportunity to really sink my teeth into a creative storyline, a creative process, and trying to figure out like the best way for things—the best story that we could tell.”

That drive led Fletcher to obsess over every element, especially with a steel cage setting that comes with its own unique limitations.

“The cage match specifically—I came into it, and I was like, steel cage matches are weird. It’s not like another stipulation. You’re kind of almost limited by what you can do, as opposed to a hardcore match or a ladder match—you have more things at your disposal.”

So how do you make the cage enhance the match? For Fletcher, the answer was terrifying—literally.

“And then the Spanish Fly specifically—most terrifying thing I’ve ever done in my life. I was up there, and I was just like—it was almost like I couldn’t think about anything else all day because I just knew that was coming, and it was like the only thing in my brain. I was like, ‘I just gotta get through this.’”

The second he landed, Fletcher felt everything shift—from pure dread to overwhelming relief.

“And then as soon as it happened, landed, laid there, and I thought, ‘Oh my god, I’m okay.’ And then from then, it was just happiness. It was just ecstatic. It was like, ‘Oh, thank god.’”

That one moment was all part of a larger goal: to create something timeless with his mentor-turned-rival.

“We wanted to create a moment that would last forever—a match that would last forever. That’s what we were going for. And I think we nailed it.”

Kyle Fletcher knew the risks—and still chose to fly. That Spanish Fly off the cage wasn’t just a stunt—it was a statement. In a business where moments live or die in seconds, Fletcher gave AEW a moment fans won’t forget anytime soon. He didn’t just walk away from the most terrifying spot of his life—he owned it.
