AEW All In returns to Wembley Stadium in London this bank holiday August, and we got to speak to two of its brightest stars, and real-life couple, Kyle Fletcher and Skye Blue.

When AEW first brought All In to Wembley in 2023, it was the first major pro wrestling event in over 30 years, the last being WWE SummerSlam in 1992. It was a historic event that saw a massive turnstile attendance of 72,265.

All In would return the following year, but the event took a hiatus in the UK in 2025. However, we did get Forbidden Door, and I spoke to Will Ospreay about that epic cross-promotion. However, AEW’s All In makes its triumphant return on Sunday, 30 August 2026.

What’s It Like Performing at a Packed-out Wembley Stadium?

“I got to be a part of the first All In at Wembley Stadium. I cannot say enough awesome things about how the energy in the building felt that day; it's something I'll never forget,” recalls Kyle. “It’s like nothing I’ve ever felt in the world, and I can’t wait to feel that again in a packed-out stadium.”

“I got to be there for Kyle in 2023,” says Skye. “Just to appreciate how loud it was, to hear its noise coming from every angle, it was the most surreal feeling, and I’m so excited to experience that again this year.”

AEW Is on a Roll in 2026

While the last year or two hasn't been perfect for AEW, after all, to expect perfection constantly is an unreasonable expectation. However, as a fan, it certainly feels that in the last eight months or so, AEW is on a roll with the quality produced on its weekly TV show, Dynamite and its PPVs, which have become a standard bearer of the pro wrestling industry.

“Ever since I've been here, the goal has been to always go out and give your absolute best, and put on the best show you possibly can. I can definitely feel the momentum. It's palpable, it's the excitement from the fans. The buildings are full, the ratings are up. It's hard to ignore that,” says a passionate Kyle.

“More than anything, it motivates me and motivates the rest of the locker room to work even harder to keep that momentum going. When you're putting everything into it, and you're getting the results that we're getting now, it lights a fire under you, and I think everyone feels that.”

“From when I started in 2021, to where I am now, I feel we’ve grown tremendously,” adds Skye. “There's always room to keep growing and to keep building. I never thought I'd go to Australia or London to wrestle, and to all these other places across the world when I first started, and here we are now in Wembley Stadium. It’s so cool to see how far we've come.

“Even just with the women's locker room, we keep pushing each other to be our best, because we keep getting amazing opportunities. It keeps us excited, and to keep pushing even more in all these cool arenas in different countries, where AEW allows us to go,” she concludes.

Becoming the AEW World Heavyweight Champion

Kyle Fletcher is currently in his second reign as AEW’s TNT Champion after defeating Tommaso Ciampa on the 11 February 2026 episode of Dynamite. If Kyle remains champion come All In later this year, he will become its longest-reigning holder, but does he still have one eye on MJF’s World Heavyweight Championship?

“The goal right now is to be the greatest TNT Champion of all time, and I think the way you do that is by setting records, by having the most defences, by having the best matches, so that is absolutely at the forefront of my mind. However, I would be lying to myself if I said the AEW World Championship wasn't something I have had my eyes on for a very long time, and I still have my eyes on.

“So, talking about All In at Wembley, and we have the Owen Hart Cup tournament coming up, I would absolutely love to be part of those. To be part of the main event, wrestling for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship on the biggest stage possible. If I were to defend my TNT Championship earlier on the All In card, and then in the evening compete for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship, I would never say no to that.”

Could We See Kyle Fletcher vs Will Ospreay at All In?

Kyle Fletcher has a long-running relationship with England’s Will Ospreay, as part of the United Empire faction in New Japan Pro Wrestling, along with fellow Aussie, Mark Davis. That faction would come into AEW before it would split and spark a rivalry between Kyle and Will Ospreay, which would probably last until the end of their careers.

Many fans, especially in England, will be hoping that Will Ospreay will either finally win or defend the AEW World Heavyweight Championship at All In. Yet, a showdown between the two friends turned bitter rivals feels like it’s written in the stars. When I suggested that showdown, Kyle says with a teasing smile, “I do not disagree with you, I'll say that much.”

Skye’s Transformation in the Triangle of Madness Faction

“I debuted in Chicago at All Out in 2021. I wore a backwards hat, tongue sticking out, bubbly girl. But I remember there's a specific picture of me walking down the ramp that day, and I just looked nervous and very shy.

“Now I've come into my own, and I feel the most confident, the most comfortable with myself in and out of the ring. I have Julia Hart and Thekla by my side with the Triangle of Madness. They help me be the best. It’s been a long process getting where I am today. To reach my potential, I’ll keep showing and going.”

Is There Friction in the Don Callis Family?

It’s fair to say that, as much of a great mind he has, Don Callis perhaps isn't the most trustworthy man in AEW, just as Kenny Omega. Yet, despite this, he’s probably formed the biggest faction in all of professional wrestling, featuring the likes of Kyle Fletcher, Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita, Andrade El Ídolo and more.

In recent weeks, Don Callis has made some business dealings with the current and two-time AEW World Heavyweight Champion, MJF, a personality that may be even less trustworthy than Mr Callis. Kyle Fletcher has never liked MJF, and he’s made his feelings known. So the question remains, can Kyle Fletcher trust MJF as much as he trusts Don Callis?

“Over my time with Don Callis, I have been warned aplenty. There have been plenty of people who have been done dirty by Don Callis. Personally, I have not been on that side of Don. He’s always been wonderful to me, he's always done great things for me, he's been a great support system,” Kyle explains.

“However, I have been very vocal about my feelings towards MJF and the kind of person he is. I think getting into business with him is a very terrible idea for anybody.

“Don has told me that we’re not working with him. I have to take him at face value. But, if that proves to be untrue, if that proves not to be the case, if we are doing some shady business with that man, I'm gonna have to have some very hard conversations in the future. I do not look forward to that whatsoever.”

On this week's episode of Dynamite, the Don Callis family attacked Darby Allin after his victory against Rush. This follows MJF giving Don Callis a briefcase full of dollars to take Darby Allin out of the AEW World Heavyweight title picture. It will be interesting to see how Klye Fletcher responds in the coming weeks.

Could We Get AEW Fight Forever 2?

In 2023, AEW Fight Forever was released; it was AEW’s first and only major video game release (not including its mobile games). At the time, I scored it a very solid 7/10, praising its WWF No Mercy ‘old-school’ gameplay. AEW Fight Forever was a game that knew what it wanted to be, and it had a lot of charm.

However, a few short months after reviewers went live, the content for AEW Fight Forever began to run dry. Ultimately, its outdated (and quite frankly overpriced) DLC and lack of meaningful post-launch content support, ultimately led to its demise. Which was a shame, because it had something promising to build on.

I asked the owner of AEW, Tony Khan, during a Forbidden Door media call in 2025, if there was a chance that AEW Fight Forever 2 might happen. While it wasn't entirely ruled out, he wasn't exactly overly positive either. But what does Kyle think?

“I’m a fan, I like that it was inspired by one of the best video games of all time [WWF No Mercy]. But it was our first video game, and it took a long time to come to fruition for many different reasons.

“I’m not privy to all the inside details. Do I think it could have been better in a lot of ways? Possibly. Could it have had Kyle Fletcher in there? Definitely. However, I think it was a good first step and could be something that AEW dips its toes into again, and it could be even better next time around.”

WWE 2K26 Community Creations Are Next Level

One of the best features of the WWE 2K series is its community creations, and WWE 2K26 is no exception. If there’s not a pro wrestler on the original roster, a PPV, TV show or title belt, there’s every chance that the talented community has created it.

This extends to promotions outside of WWE. For example, I had downloaded a ton of the AEW roster, its shows and title belts, including Kyle Fletcher and Skye Blue. “We get tagged in a fair few of them from our fans, and they’re always cool to see,” says Kyle.

Which Pokémon Generation Is the Best?

“I feel like it's very similar to wrestling in the sense that nostalgia is a huge part of it. I’m a Gen 3 kid,” recalls Kyle. “I'm sure other people will have varying opinions based on whatever first Pokémon game they played. There are positive things about all of the generations, and whatever you feel the biggest connection to, is what you're gonna enjoy the most.

“I love Gen 3. I could play those games till I'm blue in the face, and I will till the day I die. I'm playing FireRed at the moment, because they just released it on Switch. So I'm going back through that, and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I haven't had the chance to play Pokémon Pokopia yet, but I will at some point.”

While Skye hasn't played the Pokémon games yet, she revealed that Kyle got her into watching the series, and she has plenty of plushies on the couch. Skye isn't much of a gamer, but liked Crash Bandicoot back in the day, which isn't a bad game to have on your resume, to be fair.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A Shifts the Gameplay

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is the latest mainline game in the series, and it made a huge change to its gameplay, moving away from turn-based combat to something more free-flowing.

“Like anything, things have to evolve with the times. Just like Pokopia, it’s a totally different realm of the Pokémon video game. I think that developers are branching out to try new things in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, which is awesome, and with Pokopia, it will bring even more fans to the series.

What Has Given Skye and Kyle the Most Joy in Life?

“In March last year, I was stuck on a couch, and I couldn't really do anything, you know,” Skye recalls.

“Fast forward to this March, I’m at Wembley Stadium doing media for our biggest event of the year. However, I get to do it with this guy by my side. He’s been the biggest support through everything. I have everything I could ever ask for. From being told that I need to have ankle surgery, to getting back into an AEW ring and wrestling. I can jump into the deep end with Kyle by my side. Best of all, we’re getting to follow our dreams together. It’s the best thing ever.”

“Damn, I shouldn't have let you go first. That was my answer,” jokes Kyle. “She stole my answer.”

Tickets for AEW All In London at Wembley Stadium on 30 August 2026 are available from LiveNation.co.uk.
