| 0:00.0 | On today, Solo Sunday News, a current AEW champion suffers an injury. |
| 0:05.6 | There's a latest on here, Karushida's AEW status. |
| 0:09.0 | Nikki Bella injured on Smackdown, and there's a positive update on TNA's Steve Macklin. |
| 0:14.4 | Hello and welcome to What Culture Wrestling, the Solo Sunday News, myself, Andrew Pollard. |
| 0:18.3 | I hope you well, I hope you good. |
| 0:19.2 | I hope your weekend is going as well as |
| 0:21.0 | possible. Up the hopefully sealing the Adron Premier title this afternoon, Red, this is all I will say here. |
| 0:26.6 | Right, starting things off with some unfortunate injury news. In fact, today is a pretty injury-centric solo Sunday news, to be honest, |
| 0:34.1 | but starting things off with last night AEW collision and Kyle Fletcher. |
| 0:39.5 | Now, just to say, I was lucky enough to grab some time with Kyle and Sky Blue earlier this week, |
| 0:43.6 | both just absolutely awesome, really lovely. |
| 0:45.6 | And that interview can be found elsewhere on the channel, but sadly, per Brian Alvarez of |
| 0:49.5 | the Wrestling Observer, Figure 4 Weekly, Kyle left last night's collision in a walking boot. Now, at collision, Kyle and his old Aussie open pal, Mark Davis, put up a win over the rascals, Zachary Wentz and Desmond Xavier. But the biggest story is that Fletcher, the current TNT champion, of course, left the arena in a walking boot. Now, the specifics of the injury are not known, but Alvarez said it is very much a legitimate injury. |
| 1:13.9 | And by the looks of it, when you watch collision, the injury seemed to happen when Fletcher and Davis, |
| 1:18.9 | they each had a member of the rascals, bashed them together in the middle of the ring, hip, suplexes, |
| 1:23.4 | and then Davis seemingly lands on Fletcher's knee as part of the landing. |
| 1:27.4 | Kyle was seen to by medical staff, and that is about all that we know right now. and then Davis seemingly lands on Fletcher's knee as part of the landing. |
| 1:31.7 | Cahill was seen to by medical staff, and that is about all that we know right now. |
| 1:33.4 | So yes, best wishes to Cattle Fletcher. |
| 1:35.8 | Hopefully, this isn't anything too serious. |
| 1:39.6 | Just one of those, I mean, he is one of the hottest riser stars in the business right now. |
| 2:36.8 | The evolution has just been, I don't know, man, absolutely ridiculous over these past 18 months or so, the proto star just piecing all together. I mean, from seeing Kyle Fletcher, going back to like the defying days, but this is someone who's been around for so long, but still so young, I think he's, what, 27? But he's already been doing this, it feels like forever. But to see him go from back then, like 2017 in the UK, smashing the independence scene with Ozzie Open. And then just to see where he's got to now and where he's going to be going to. It's just like I said, it's absolutely ridiculous, man, to see the evolution of Carl Fletcher so far. I mean, just from getting spent 30 minutes or so with him earlier this week, just one of the nicest dude. Such positive energy, man. So, yeah, best wishes to Kyle, hopefully it's nothing too serious. And speaking of positive energy, somebody else who always seems to bring such great energy to the table, Hikaru Shida. Now, Shida has not been seen in, I mean, it feels like forever by now. In fact, in an AW sense, Shida last wrestled in November 2024. That was a dynamite loss to Chris Stalander. So, what, 16 months ago, 16 months off AW TV. She did wrestle 11 |
