Randy Orton’s AEW doppelganger issues statement ahead of Worlds End

WWE star Randy Orton's AEW doppelganger issued a statement on social media ahead of the high-stakes match at the Worlds End pay-per-view. The star being discussed is Kyle Fletcher, who has been on a great run since the last few months. His heel turn and rivalry with Will Ospreay have turned him into one of the top acts.

After betraying The Aerial Assassin, Kyle Fletcher shaved his hair in the middle of the ring and claimed not to look like his shadow anymore. Many compared his new look with the young Randy Orton. Fletcher also uses the rope-hung DDT the same way the Legend Killer does.

The 26-year-old was one of the dominant competitors in the league stages during the Continental Classic tournament. He emerged victorious against Shelton Benjamin, The Beast Mortos, Daniel Garcia, and Kazuchika Okada and earned 12 points in the Blue League to qualify for the semifinals. He will be wrestling Will Ospreay in the semifinals at the Worlds End pay-per-view.

Kyle Fletcher recently took to X/Twitter and sent an intriguing three-word message ahead of his chance to capture the Continental Championship at Worlds End on December 28.

"fortune favors me," he wrote.
