AEW delivered a massive surprise on this week's edition of AEW Dynamite by having Kyle O'Reilly debut in the event's opening match.
Adam Cole and Orange Cassidy went to war in a tremendous bout which, however, would now be mostly remembered for the closing moments, when O'Reilly showed up to assist Cole. The timely interference in the match from the former NXT star, when the referee was dealing with Bobby Fish, turned the tide in favor of Adam Cole.
Post-match, the former Undisputed Era stablemates stood tall, bringing back several memories of their incredible run in WWE NXT. The reunion could finally be the catalyst for The Panama City Playboy separating from Superkliq, which was also teased on Dynamite when The Young Bucks confronted Cole.
As expected, the debut sent the Twitter world into a frenzy, with everyone from wrestlers and fans sharing their excitement over KOR's AEW arrival. With all the buzz surrounding the debut, it's safe to say everyone has very high expectations from the former NXT Tag Team Champion's run in AEW.
