Kyle O'Reilly Appears At AEW Dynamite: Holiday Bash
KOR is #AllElite.
As speculated by many, Kyle O'Reilly is now #AllElite.
KOR made his AEW bow on last night's episode of Dynamite, joining forces with his former Undisputed Era buddies Adam Cole and Bobby Fish.
Dynamite saw Cole facing off against Orange Cassidy. When Fish came to the ring to distract the referee during this contest, O'Reilly appeared and assaulted Freshly Squeezed - allowing Cole to pick up the win.
Post-match, the three UE alumni would attack the Best Friends, before The Young Bucks came to the ring and Cole found himself in the middle of the Bucks and the reDRagon tandem. Despite a clear unease, all five men made their way to the back without any further incident.

Since Dynamite aired, Tony Khan has taken to Twitter to confirm that O'Reilly has indeed signed with All Elite Wrestling. Of course, KOR was previously under the WWE banner with the NXT brand before his contract there expired earlier this month.
Both O'Reilly and Johnny Gargano have recently become free agents - Johnny Wrestling's WWE deal likewise expiring a couple of weeks ago - and there has been plentiful rumblings of whether the pair would indeed head for pastures new, or whether they'd instead re-up with Vince McMahon's sports entertainment juggernaut.
In Kyle's case, we now know he's opted to join two of his Undisputed Era pals in AEW.
