Add another one to the list. According to a report from PWInsider, Kyle O’Reilly has not-resigned with WWE and has officially become a free agent. Both he and Johnny Gargano have been removed from the company’s internal roster.
This news comes after Gargano became a free agent the day before. He is currently free to work anywhere he wants to since there was no non-compete attached to his contract.
O’Reilly has had quite a career in NXT. He was a three-time WWE NXT tag team champion, and also won the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic in 2018 with Adam Cole. The pair, along with Bobby Fish and Roderick Strong, was known as the Undisputed Era and was one of the most successful factions in NXT history.
However, Cole and O’Reilly had an intense rivalry throughout most of 2021, which led to a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match at NXT Takeover: 36. You can see the final war of words below:
Editor’s Opinion:
This isn’t surprising to me at all. With Bobby Fish and Adam Cole already in AEW, I knew it wouldn’t take long for O’Reilly to leave WWE. I’m not saying that he’ll end up in AEW, but for me, that seems like the most likely possibility. Once Roderick Strong heads over there, a feud with the Undisputed Era and The Elite would be just fine with me!
