Kyle Fletcher comments on getting his visa sorted.

In February, Fightful Select reported that ROH World Television Champion Kyle Fletcher was dealing with a situation with his visa, so he was unable to perform for AEW or ROH. Fletcher returned to the ring on the March 6 episode of AEW Dynamite and lost to Will Ospreay. At ROH Supercard of Honor on April 5, he retained his title against Lee Johnson.

During the ROH Supercard of Honor media call, Kyle Fletcher was asked to comment on his time away from the ring.

“As match preparation goes, that was my first wrestling match in over a month. I had to go back to Australia, I had visa, not issues, but stuff I had to get sorted. I had to get a new visa. I came back on two days notice before the pay-per-view, just managed to get back for the pay-per-view, which was awesome. They announced I was wrestling Will Ospreay, which is possibly the biggest opportunity of my life, my career, against one of my best friends. That pressure, especially being my first match in a over month, was huge. I think it’s so important, I have found, to be constantly prepared for any opportunity to arise. If you get complacent or you’re not happy with where you are and you let your preparation in the gym, your diet, slip by the wayside, those opportunities get thrust into your lap and maybe you don’t deliver. While I was in Australia, waiting for this visa, I kept all that up and I keep all that up all the time because I never know when that next opportunity is going to come knocking. I was just happy I was in the shape I was in to perform in that match,” Fletcher said.
