Kyle Fletcher Names Top Opponent On His AEW To Do List

AEW star, Kyle Fletcher, has a dream match in mind and his name is Samoa Joe.
In an interview with DownUnder The Ring, Fletcher revealed that Buddy Matthews was once his number one dream opponent, but that now it was Joe.
"I got asked this the other day, and the one that stuck out is Samoa Joe. I've never touched Samoa Joe. Up until Dynamite, I'd never touched Buddy Matthews. So I think that would have been like my other one. I would have been like, okay, but now that we've had a match, we've been in the ring together, Samoa Joe. I think he's at the top of the list."Kyle Fletcher (h/t Fightful)
