Major Update On Long Absent AEW Talent

Could an AEW talent be headed back to action?

Kyle O’Reilly has been out of action for 18 months, with no sign of a return on-screen within AEW. Unfortunately, the updates in the summer we heard weren’t good. Sources had indicated to Fightful that O’Reilly was not factored into AEW plans due to his injury, and there is currently no timetable for him return. At least one part of that has changed, as we’re told Kyle O’Reilly has been backstage recently and is looking like he could return to programming after a period of it looking quite unlikely.

O’Reilly underwent a neck fusion surgery in September 2022, but unfortunately experienced a post-surgical issue in the months that followed. He’s been working out with a strength and conditioning specialist for months.

There have unfortunately been a huge influx of fusion surgeries in wrestling with O’Reilly, Braun Strowman, Randy Orton, Bobby Roode, among others.

I think Fish would be warmly forgiven if Worlds End ends with him, KOR and Roddy flanking Cole doing the hand pose. It sets up the Kingdom as an immediate feud too and potential “friends” for MJF to team with if they are betrayed.

my GOAT LETS GOOOO

Hold up I just googled Dick Marcinko and this dudes beard grows all the way up to his eye balls what da hell is da beard doin

Love hearing this. Hoping we'll get KOR, Roddy, and Adam Cole back together as a faction. Hope KOR is healthy.

Vicki Langteau

if this isn't a big hint he'll be facing MJF & Joe today idk what else is haha

Skib

That's great hearing that KOR is feeling better and a possible return to the ring. He has always been one of my favorite technical style guys.

Can some doctor explain to me what causes all these back problems. Is it a specific injury or wear and tear?

Coke is the devil indeed.

No way Fish would be welcomed back to AEW after the shot he tried to pull. Devil is Cole with Roddy, Kyle and the Kingdom. Hopefully this leads to Maria coming back to TV.

Glad for KOR

Thomas Middaugh

Great news!

Nah it'll be Adam, with him being one of the masked goons. With Neckstrong insisting it's MJF obviously he and The Kingdom are in on it too. And if they can manage to get Fish back (not sure how TK feels about him after the things he's said about AEW), I look for them to be the Undisputed Kingdom. Fantasy booking is fun

Josh Howard

Well that's just all kinds of happy inducing.

I really think it’s him, Fish and Roddy under the normal Hoods with Coke as the devil. That bigger hooded guy is just a tad short for Wardlow…that could be Fish

David Pick

Ya'll stuck on the devil and I am just glad one of the greatest wrestlers is healthy 🥰

Hope he’s feeling much better and back with Adam Cole as soon as possible!

Andrew Bates

Stay neck strong KOR 🙏🏻

Matthew S

He’s 100% under one of the hoods imo

David Pick

Its the devil!!!!!

Carter buffkin

So he’s the Devil
