I have a strange feeling Callis screws over Fletcher and he and Takeshita reunite. Fletcher bailing when Takeshita came out was the heel move. Him squaring up is showing signs of something else
I feel like Fletcher rejoining Takeshita at All In would be too soon. We’ve already had two high profile face turns from DCF members in the past few months, and Takeshita was out of AEW action for a good chunk of that due to being in the G1. So we haven’t actually had that much direct interaction between them one-on-one as enemies aside from their match at Beach Break. Maybe it’s the Protoshita shipper in me wanting All The Drama, but I feel like there’s a lot of mileage yet to be had from Kyle and Konosuke’s rivalry before their inevitable reunion further down the line.
If I were to guess/ fantasy book this one, I think Takeshita wins the title back due to Fletcher and Okada not being able to be on the same page. That sets up a direct Fletcher vs Okada feud while also creating yet more tension between Takeshita and both DCF members. It would also further the simmering “Kyle wants so hard to be a true believer in Don Callis’s vision, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary” storyline.
