While Kyle O’Reilly is a phenomenal performer who has proven that he is more than just a great tag team wrestler, he is only getting started as a singles Superstar in WWE. The title match against Finn Balor at NXT TakeOver: 31 will undoubtedly be his biggest test as a singles Superstar.

KOR has been doing well since his Ring of Honor days, but he has mostly performed in tag teams and will need some time to become a big singles performer. Only Roderick Strong and Adam Cole from the Undisputed ERA have won singles Championships in NXT, and KOR will need some time to come across as a real threat.

Finn Balor will be defending his title for the first time in his second reign and The Prince will likely retain his title at NXT TakeOver: 31.

With that in mind, Balor and KOR could put on a great match before Balor connects with the Coup de Grace followed by the 1916 on O’Reilly to retain his title.

This will allow KOR to retain his value and carry on the momentum following a great performance while Balor continues to be the leader of NXT.
