A new TNT Champion was crowned this week on AEW Collision. The current title holder, Kyle Fletcher, has now shared his first comments since dethroning Dustin Rhodes in a brutal match.

The Protostar was supposed to face former TNT Champion Adam Cole at All In: Texas last month. However, The Panama City Playboy's heartbreaking revelation regarding his career status led to the title being vacated and then contested in a four-way match at the PPV between Fletcher, Daniel Garcia, Sammy Guevara, and the eventual upset winner, Dustin Rhodes.

The Natural mounted his one and only successful defense of the TNT Title against Lee Moriarty last weekend. On this week's AEW Collision, Dustin finally battled Kyle Fletcher one-on-one in a violent Chicago Street Fight over the championship. The Don Callis Family member walked out of the Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom victorious courtesy of outside interference from The Invisible Hand.

Cameras caught up with Fletcher backstage after Collision. The 26-year-old up-and-comer boldly delivered his mission statement moving forward: to become the greatest TNT Champion and titleholder in AEW.

"Now, when you say my full name, it is the TNT Champion, The Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. And like Don said, I don't just plan on being a great TNT Champion, I'm going to hold this for as long as I please. I will be the greatest TNT Champion this world has ever seen, the greatest champion this company has ever seen, the world has ever seen, because that is my destiny," said Fletcher.
