In a recent interview with The New York Post to promote this Sunday’s WWE NXT Takeover 31 event, WWE NXT superstar Kyle O’Reilly discussed several topics, including not being part of WWE NXT shows earlier in the year.

“As for everybody, it’s been a weird few months, it’s been a weird year. At first, when this whole thing broke out, it was scary for the reasons like you said, health being a huge part of that.

As we learned more about what was going on, I became more confident. As time progressed, I started chomping at the bit to return, you could only do so many garage workouts in a day to keep the cabin fever away. 

After a while, I was ready to come back, the company had my health in their best interests, they weren’t going to risk anything with me. Once the opportunity finally came around to come back, all the precautions had been taken and continue to be taken, I felt confident and yeah, it was a long few months, I was ready to come back a lot sooner, but that’s the way things work out and I’m glad to be finally back.”
