Top AEW Star Reportedly Signs New Contract
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. All Elite Wrestling has locked down one of its brightest young stars and newest champions. A new report confirms that the reigning TNT Champion, Kyle Fletcher, has signed a new, long-term, multi-year contract with the company. More News: Two Superstars May No Longer Be With WWE According to a report from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, AEW sources have confirmed the deal. The new contract ensures that Fletcher will be a cornerstone of the promotion for years to come. AEW "Big Money" Deal For Kyle Fletcher The Fightful report notes that the multi-year deal was quietly agreed to earlier this spring. It is considered a "big money" contract, especially in relation to Fletcher's young age, and is a clear sign of the company's faith in him. AEW President Tony Khan reportedly communicated that he sees Fletcher as a "big part of AEW's future." The 26-year-old is now positioned to be a major player in the company moving forward. A New Singles AEW Champion The contract news comes just weeks after the biggest victory of Fletcher's singles career. On the July 26th episode of AEW Collision, he defeated the legendary Dustin Rhodes in a brutal street fight to capture the AEW TNT Championship for the first time. All Elite Wrestling ALL IN at Wembley Stadium in London on August 27, 2023. All Elite Wrestling ALL IN at Wembley Stadium in London on August 27, 2023. Courtesy of AEW More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match The victory was a star-making moment for the young Aussie. It also came with some controversy, as the match resulted in a legitimate, long-term knee injury for the beloved veteran, Rhodes. As the new champion, Fletcher is now a central figure on AEW television. Kyle Fletcher first made a name for himself as one-half of the world-renowned tag team, Aussie Open, with his partner Mark Davis. The duo were international stars, capturing tag team championships in major promotions like New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Ring of Honor. After Davis was sidelined with an injury, Fletcher seamlessly transitioned into a singles role in AEW. He aligned himself with the villainous Don Callis Family, and under the manipulative manager's guidance, his career has been elevated to a new level. Now, with a major singles championship and a new long-term contract, the future has never been brighter for Kyle Fletcher. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

Craigsville native Tony Schiavone pumped for wresting return to Roanoke in AEW Collision
Tony Schiavone is returning to Virginia ― at least for the weekend. A native of Craigsville, Schiavone is an announcer with All Elite Wrestling. He's the lead announcer on AEW Collision, which is coming to Roanoke's Berglund Center Saturday, Aug. 9 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the event are still available on the AEW website, but it will also be broadcast live on TNT and stream on HBO Max. "I'll be doing the commentary with Nigel McGuinness, a former wrestling star, and we'll have some of our big stars there," Schiavone said. "We're really thrilled about being part of this, and I'm personally thrilled about being here." More: New CEO takes reins at Blue Ridge Area Food Bank as federal food pantry cuts loom Less than two hours away from where he grew up, Schiavone is happy to be home ― or at least close to home. The Buffalo Gap High School graduate grew up listening to football and basketball games on Staunton's WTON. Once he graduated from James Madison University, the Staunton radio station is where he got his first broadcasting job. He wasn't on the air at first, instead setting up equipment and keeping stats during games. Eventually he worked his way onto the air — his first break was when an announcer went to the wrong school and Schiavone called play-by-play for the first half of a high school basketball game. He wasn't very good, but it got him more work. Schiavone got good enough that he was offered the play-by-play job for James Madison University football, but he wanted to do baseball. He applied for, and got, a job with a minor league team in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1981. From Greensboro he went to Charlotte in 1982 for another minor league team. There, he met the Crockett family, which owned the baseball team and was also a major wrestling promoter. Schiavone has been a wrestling fan since his days as a teenager, walking to his Uncle John's home on his lunch break from his job at the Craigsville IGA. His uncle was a huge wrestling fan, so the two would watch matches on television. The first match he ever saw in person was in Harrisonburg, but once he could drive, Schiavone went to matches in Roanoke, Richmond and even as far away as Greensboro. More: Administrative appointments in Augusta County come with drama at school board meeting "There was a feud between Ric Flair and Blackjack Mulligan probably in 1978 that really got my interest," Schiavone said. "I became a big Blackjack Mulligan fan." Interestingly enough, his first job in wrestling was when the Crocket family asked him to interview Flair. That led to more interviews and finally, when Jim Crockett Promotions' World Championship Wrestling debuted on TBS in 1985, Schiavone was hired as one of the announcers. "I found that I was making a lot more part-time in wrestling than I was full-time in baseball," he said. "So, they hired me full-time in wrestling, and here I am. I started on TBS in 1985 and just hung in there." Schiavone said he can't wait to see the fans in Roanoke Aug. 9. "I can't believe that here I am, pushing 70; I'll be 70 in three years," Schiavone said. "And I'm still doing wrestling." Patrick Hite is a reporter at The News Leader.
