(Fightful)Kyle Fletcher was successful in his first AEW title defenseEarlier tonight on AEW Collision, Kyle Fletcher kicked off the show by putting his TNT Championship on the line. He did so against Tomohiro Ishii, in a match that pushed him to his limits.This was far from a walk in the park for The Protostar, as The Stone Pitbull was able to hold his own and launch great offense of his own. Unlike some of Fletcher's other matches, Don Callis or any member of their faction was not at ringside, so this win was solely based on his own efforts.Kyle Fletcher was able to connect with a Powerbomb, a running boot, and a Sheer Drop Brainbuster to secure the win and get him his first successful title defense.The Australian star is looking forward to the Forbidden Door pay-per-view, which will take place on August 24, as he has just dropped an open challenge to anyone from New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). It remains to be seen who will step up to him.
