Mike Bailey Critiques Don Callis' Influence on Kyle Fletcher

AEW wrestler Mike Bailey has voiced his belief that Don Callis is obstructing Kyle Fletcher, the current AEW International Champion, from achieving greater success. Bailey, who is set to face Fletcher at AEW Grand Slam: Mexico, shared his thoughts in a recent vlog.

Bailey noted that while he respects Fletcher's abilities, he feels that Callis' influence is detrimental. He expressed a desire for a decisive victory in their upcoming match, hoping Fletcher can perform at his best without distractions from Callis. Bailey earned this opportunity by winning a six-man Ladder Match at the AEW Redemption pay-per-view, where Fletcher also defended his title successfully against Bandido.

The Don Callis Family, which has expanded to include over ten wrestlers, is led by Callis, who Bailey has previously likened to a pyramid scheme, suggesting financial motives behind the group's recruitment strategies.
