With tickets now on sale for AEW All In 2026, which takes place on 30th August at London's Wembley Stadium, we were fortunate to grab some time with Kyle Fletcher and Skye Blue to discuss a wide variety of topics, including the current backstage mood in All Elite Wrestling.

On that matter, TNT Champion Fletcher described AEW as "the best place in the entire world to wrestle", detailing the passion of those on the roster and how "everyone there wants to be there".

As the Protostar explained:

"The vibe, it's hard to put your finger on, but I think it's the fact that everyone there wants to be there, and everyone is so passionate about not just pro wrestling, but the company itself, and everyone just wants to go out there and do their absolute best every single time. I think, individually, every single person on the roster is just on their absolute A game, and they wanna see this place succeed, and they wanna keep this momentum rolling. And, y'know, the ratings and the PPV buys, and all this stuff, is kinda just reaffirming that AEW is the best place in the entire world to wrestle, and it just makes me excited to go out there every single night. I could be doing anything. I could be wrestling anybody, I could be cutting a promo, I could be doing whatever, and I just want to go out there and do my absolute best for the fans, for the company, for all of it, because I just feel like I'm so grateufl to be in this position, I'm so grateful to be with such a great company, and I just want AEW to be the biggest and best it possibly can be, and I want to do my part in that."

Elsewhere in this chat, Kyle and Skye discussed their aspirations for the rest of 2026, the want for more championship gold, a potential on-screen pairing, character evolution, Blood & Guts, praise for Mark Davis, not so much praise for Will Ospreay, and plenty, plenty more - including a mini tour of Wembley Stadium.

The full interview with Kyle Fletcher and Skye Blue will be published later today, so be sure to keep your eyes on WhatCulture Wrestling for that.
