Kyle O’Reilly last wrestled for AEW in June 2022, and it was later revealed he had undergone spinal fusion surgery the following September. And apart from a worrying Instagram update where O’Reilly disclosed he was dealing with a post-surgical issue, things have been quiet. However, his longtime friend and AEW colleague Adam Cole has now provided a further update, calling O’Reilly “a warrior” and noting he’s doing everything he can to return to the ring during an interview with Inside The Ropes.
“All I can say is Kyle is continuing to push forward. This has been a very long and very, very tough process for him. But he’s a warrior. Again, there’s nothing that Kyle loves more than pro wrestling, and he’s doing everything that he can to make sure that he’s getting healthy and getting back to a point where he can return to the ring. Obviously, there’s still no timetable on when he’s going to be able to come back, but Kyle is progressing. He’s getting better every single week, and just like the rest of the world, I can’t wait till Kyle O’Reilly gets back. I miss him so much.”
Adam ColeThe former NXT talent debuted for AEW two weeks after his WWE contract expired in December 2021 and was immediately partnered with Cole, Bobby Fish, and The Young Bucks to form the Undisputed Elite. Yet, the group broke up when Cole, Fish, and O’Reilly turned on the Bucks. Sadly, though, due to O’Reilly’s injury and Adam Cole suffering a concussion at Forbidden Door, fans didn’t get a payoff, and without the other group members, Bobby Fish would depart AEW.
