AEW has found the young Randy Orton, feels wrestling legend: "This kid has it all"

A former WWE Superstar claimed that AEW has found their own version of Randy Orton in one of their young stars. The veteran praised the star for standing out in a multi-man match on Dynamite.

The star in question is none other than Kyle Fletcher. The 25-year-old star made his AEW debut in 2022 in the 'Aussie Open' tag team alongside Mark Davis. Later, he transitioned into a singles star and is currently a part of the Don Callis Family.

Meanwhile, the WWE and ECW legend Tommy Dreamer stated that Kyle Fletcher reminds him of a young Randy Orton. Speaking on Busted Open After Dark, Dreamer stated the following:

"What you have in one person in particular, stood out to me, he reminded me of someone when he first came up on the WWE roster and each and every week I'm getting more invested in this person and also seeing the future of AEW, that's Kyle Fletcher. And the person he reminded me of was a young Randy Orton."

Dreamer further claimed that Fletcher shined in the eight-man tag match this week on Dynamite:

"That is high praise, because you look at the body of work that Randy Orton did. Randy Orton also had to learn from his mistakes early on to become Randy Orton and we are in those early stages of Kyle Fletcher. This kid has it all, he really and truly does, he is a star that is shining amongst eight men and I am noticing him." [From 02:30 to 03:20]
