Before coming to WWE in 2017, Kyle O'Reilly became a household name for his brilliant blend of hard-hitting strikes and submission prowess. He has won singles and tag team gold ahead of his NXT debut.

Since his arrival at the black and gold brand, it has been more of the same. O'Reilly has become a record-breaking three-time NXT Tag Team Champion.

The Undisputed Era was one of the most dominant stables in WWE since their formation. Last year, O'Reilly was finally given the chance to be spotlighted on his own. His series of matches against Finn Balor showed how gifted he was as a grappler and pegged him a future NXT Champion.

Following Adam Cole's superkicking of Kyle O'Reilly and thus breaking up the Undisputed Era at TakeOver: Vengeance Day, it has given Kyle O'Reilly more of a focus in the singles division.

He defeated Cole at TakeOver: Stand and Deliver in an unsanctioned main event and was once again in the main event at TakeOver: In Your House.

Whether it be his heel hook or his superior counters in the ring, Kyle O'Reilly has exhibited all the reasons why he should be considered among the best grapplers in WWE. Now that he is on his own, nothing can overshadow the ring IQ and submission excellence of Kyle O'Reilly.
