O’Reilly is not only a tag team specialist, however, as the young new acquisition for NXT also has singles gold under his belt, capturing the ROH World Title from Adam Cole at Final Battle in December. He also won the ECCW world title in January 2017, but vacated it to “figure out his future.” He is considered one of the best athletes in the business today, with PWI ranking him number 32 in their PWI Top 500 in 2016.
O’Reilly is a submission and strike specialist and should fit well in this new generation of NXT superstars.
