Major AEW star walks out of faction due to growing frustration
One of the most anticipated matches of the upcoming WrestleDream Pay-Per-View is the AEW International Championship three-way match between Konosuke Takeshita, Will Ospreay (c), and Ricochet. The Aerial Assassin was previously a member of The Don Callis Family. However, earlier this year, he left the stable.
Over the past few weeks, The Don Callis Family storyline featuring Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher, and Lance Archer, has gotten very captivating. In today's episode of Dynamite, it was revealed that Takeshita interfered in last week's AEW International Championship match on the orders of The Invisible Hand. When Ospreay learned of this, he was furious.
Feeling betrayed, the International Champion told Callis that he didn't want to be associated with him anymore. The 60-year-old responded by slapping him. What followed was chaos. Takeshita attacked The Aerial Assassin and Callis handed a screwdriver to Kyle Fletcher, ordering him to strike his best friend with it. However, the Australian refused to do so and walked out of his stable. Furthermore, when Callis and Takeshita tried to have a conversation with Fletcher backstage, he argued with them and walked away again.
Kyle Fletcher is conflicted. On one side is his best friend, and on the other, is the stable who made him a prominent name in the company. It remains to be seen what the future holds for the 25-year-old.
Don Callis revealed to the AEW International Champion that he was frustrated with him
On Dynamite: Title Tuesday, Don Callis revealed to Will Ospreay that he ordered Takeshita to attack him during his title match last week because he was frustrated with him.
"Yes! Yes, I sent him! I sent him out of frustration because you wouldn’t listen. I had to show you who makes the decisions on the family. And I sent Takeshita to show you. Two weeks ago I was this close to winning the World Tag Team titles and you dropped the match because you were too mentally weak!" said Don Callis. H/T AEW's official website.
It will be interesting to see if Ospreay will retain his title at WrestleDream because, this time around, the odds are against him.
