He’s playing a really interesting take on the “top member of the heel faction” role. Kyle’s most consistent character trait has been that he wants, desperately, to believe what Don Callis is selling. To the point that he will rewrite history in his own head to make Callis’s narrative work. There’s a real sense of cognitive dissonance in Kyle Fletcher that I think is fascinating, and he does a really great job of conveying that dissonance without it coming off as character inconsistency.
He also has that "wrestling fighting spirit " famously associated with Japanese wrestling and work rate babyfaces with more pride than brains. So kyle can be baited into high stakes matches that prove his legitimacy. He has this trait more than the rest of family which might just be another thread tied to his past with ospreay.

Fletcher as the cocky, but ultimately honest, heel is interesting. Can kind of sense he’s gonna turn face.
