Kyle O’Reilly returned to WWE NXT after putting Adam Cole behind him. O’Reilly was ready to move forward after excelling as a singles competitor. He made it clear that his focus was on the NXT Championship currently held by Karrion Kross.

Cameron Grimes came out to interrupt KOR and offered to set up a business relationship with him. Kool Kyle joked about joining Grimes before dropping him with a right hand.

This led to a match between the two men later on NXT. Kross starred down O’Reilly as he headed out for his match against The Technical Savage.

Grimes was impressive once again and looked to work over KOR’s injured neck. He dropped him with a German Suplex and locked in the Crossface to apply pressure to O’Reilly’s injuries.

O’Reilly fought back even though he was far from a hundred percent. He countered a Cave In attempt and hit a Roundhouse Kick. After some more action, KOR picked up the victory with a diving knee drop to the back of Grimes.

The match was great and allowed both superstars to shine. Grimes has been outstanding nonstop even though his gimmick hasn’t been too great. O’Reilly has been the shining star of NXT since late last year, and he continued to impress with this performance.

It will be interesting to see how O’Reilly performs against Kross later on. More importantly, where is Adam Cole?
