Former NXT star Kyle O’Reilly reunited with his Undisputed Era teammates Adam Cole and Bobby Fish on this week’s Holiday Bash edition of AEW Dynamite.
Kyle O’Reilly is officially ALL ELITE!
The former NXT star reunited with Undisputed Era stablemates Bobby Fish and Adam Cole on this week’s special Holiday Bash edition of AEW Dynamite on TNT.
It all went down during the opening match at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina. Ada Cole and Orange Cassidy were going at it in a thoroughly enjoyable match when O’Reilly debuted. Cole’s buddy Bobby Fish distracted the referee and O’Reilly took advantage of the referee’s distraction to interfere on behalf of his old friend Adam Cole by attacking Cassidy. Cole then hit Cassidy with the Boom knee strike to score a pinfall victory.
After the match, Cole and Fish looked upon O’Reilly confusingly, as they didn’t exactly part ways on good terms when they last shared a ring. The Young Bucks arrived and appeared to ask Cole what was going on. Cole eventually left the ring with Fish and O’Reilly by his side.
While this was all going on, AEW president Tony Khan took to social media to confirm that O’Reilly had indeed signed a contract with All Elite Wrestling.

The American Nightmare took more of the terrifying bump than he intended.
Cody Rhodes and Andrade El Idolo attempted to settle their differences once and for all on Dynamite this week. The two competed in what wound up being a pretty brutal Atlanta Street Fight in Wednesday night’s main event. The match included Rhodes being whacked over the head with a laptop, and even an appearance from rapper T-Pain.
The match also included the on-screen return of Brandi Rhodes. Brandi popped up wearing a hoodie and a mask, pulling the latter down to reveal her face before dousing a table in kerosene and setting it alight. Cody was already preparing to put El Idolo through the table as the two of them were precariously perched atop the turnbuckle.
Cody proceeded to go ahead with his plan, hoping to further hurt El Idolo now the table was engulfed in flames. While the daredevil manoeuver won Cody the match, he was the one who appeared to take the must damage from the fire and the table. The American Nightmare opted for a reverse DDT through the table which meant it was his own back that took the brunt of the burning bump.
Rhodes took a few seconds to move past the shock of getting burned before gathering himself and going for the cover. Even then, flames were still visible on Cody’s arm and leg as the announcers correctedly yelled that he was still on fire. Photos of Cody’s back have been shared via the AEW Twitter account since the show went off the air, and as you can see for yourself above, it does not look good.
Cody’s back is incredibly red, and while some of that damage will have been done before the flaming table spot, getting burned definitely wouldn’t have helped. There are red marks all over his back and neck and some black material that seems to be stuck to Cody’s back. Possibly burned or even melted parts of the tabletop that will have since been removed from his skin. Painful stuff.

Legendary AEW broadcaster Jim Ross has confirmed that he will miss around a month of work while he undergoes radiation therapy for skin cancer.
Jim Ross has confirmed that he will be absent from AEW programming until December 29 while he undergoes radiation therapy.
JR was recently diagnosed with skin cancer after discovering a strange growth on his leg. On a recent edition of his Grilling JR podcast, the legendary pro-wrestling announcer opened up about the treatment plan of action and revealed that he would be undergoing 22 rounds of radiation therapy.
Ross took to Twitter on Thursday, November 25 to announce his (hopefully) brief leave of absence.
“Due to my skin cancer care totaling 22 radiation treatments starting Monday, I will hopefully return to the announce desk on December 29 in Jacksonville,” Tweeted Ross.
Later, AEW president Tony Khan shared a message of support to his lead announcer.
“JR, everyone here at [AEW] wishes you the best. I think it’s a great gameplan you’ve got, we look forward to your return to commentary, hopefully in your new hometown Jacksonville FL [Daily’s Place] at New Year’s Smash at the end of December!” Khan tweeted. “We want you to kick the cancer’s ass, JR!”

Veteran Japanese wrestler Tomohiro Ishii made his AEW debut during this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite, on which he teamed up with Orange Cassidy.
Veteran Japanese wrestler Tomohiro Ishii walked away from his AEW debut with a victory under his belt when he and Orange Cassidy defeated The Butcher and The Blade on the latest episode of AEW Dynamite on TNT.
It all went down in Norfolk, Virginia on the first episode of AEW Dynamite to air since Saturday’s Full Gear pay-per-view. Ishii and OC were accompanied to the ring by their CHAOS stablemates Rocky Romero, Chuck Taylor, Wheeler YUTA, and Kris Statlander, while The Butcher and The Blade had The Bunny, Matt Hardy, and a few other Hardy Family Office members in their corner … needless to say, chaos ensued.
Hardy and The Bunny did their best to sabotage Ishii’s AEW debut, but ultimately the experience and brute strength of New Japan’s NEVER Openweight Champion was too much for the HFO to overcome. The finish came when Orange Cassidy took out the HFO with a dive outside, allowing Ishii to land a massive lariat on The Blade followed by a brainbuster. Ishii then covered Blade for the 1-2-3, delivering a huge win to CHAOS and adding a W next to his name in the AEW record books.
In case you missed it, Ishii’s New Japan colleague Rocky Romero made his in-ring AEW debut against Bryan Danielson on last week’s Dynamite. Before the show kicked off, Romero approached The Best Friends (Orange Cassidy, Kris Statlander, Chuck Taylor, and Wheeler YUTA) with a tantalizing proposition. Romero informed the group that Kazuchika Okada had invited them to join his stable CHAOS. Taylor, who was a member of CHAOS from 20017-2019 accepted Romero and Okada’s offer on behalf of his teammates. The best friends then accompanied Romero to the ring for his match with Danielson on Dynamite as official CHAOS members.
Not much has come of the partnership between AEW and NJPW, but with several members of CHAOS infiltrating the AEW roster, it seems inevitable that CHAOS leader Okada will soon join them.
