Just 15 days after his final NXT match, Kyle O’Reilly made his surprise arrival in AEW at AEW Dynamite: Holiday Bash on Wednesday night. The three-time NXT Tag Team Champion assisted Adam Cole in beating Orange Cassidy, then stood side-by-side by Cole and Bobby Fish as a reunited Undisputed Era while a confused Young Bucks looked on. O’Reilly then took to Twitter after the show to react to his debut as well as thank Tony Khan.
Life is crazy and I’m very grateful that my professional wrestling abilities have taken me to a new frontier in which to explore my ass-kicking ways. Proud to be apart of @AEW and thanks to @TonyKhan for the opportunity.
Thanks Jim, happy to be part of the team. Heal up quick!
I’m still amazed that we were able to reunite @AdamColePro + @theBobbyFish + @KORcombat tonight on #AEWDynamite; it doesn’t seem like it should’ve been possible, still doesn’t feel real. The only reason it was possible was because of you great fans supporting @AEWonTNT! Thank you

I’m so excited for @JRsBBQ to call @KORcombat’s @AEW debut next Wednesday! @orangecassidy & Best Friends vs. @KORcombat, @theBobbyFish, @AdamColePro next week on the last #AEWDynamite ever on TNT before our move in 2 weeks on Jan 5 to @TBSNetwork! See you next week @dailysplace! https://t.co/IqxhU2LrkH pic.twitter.com/mbljtFc6MI
