Welcome to the team. We are in the middle of the first real promotional war on a national level in over twenty years. That has made weekly wrestling shows a heck of a lot more interesting as fans have been able to wonder who they are going to be able to see come in next on either show. That was the case again this week, as a somewhat expected debut took place.
Former NXT and Ring of Honor star Kyle O’Reilly made his AEW debut during this week’s edition of Dynamite. O’Reilly interfered in Adam Cole’s match with Orange Cassidy to help Cole pick up the win. After the match, Cole left with O’Reilly and Bobby Fish as the Young Bucks looked on. O’Reilly finished up with NXT earlier this month when his contract expired, making him a free agent.
It’s a big debut. Check out O’Reilly coming to AEW and what the former Undisputed Era can do together:
Opinion: I don’t think this is exactly a stunning surprise as O’Reilly is tailor made for AEW. Throw in his friends being there and you have most of an Undisputed Era reunion all ready to go. O’Reilly being a free agent makes this even better and it was cool to see how well his first night went. It makes me curious to see who else is going to be showing up and that’s not something I’ve gotten to feel in a long time.
What did you think of the debut? Where do you see this going? Let us know in the comments below.
