O’Reilly made his debut for AEW at the “Holiday Bash” edition of Dynamite. He emerged from underneath the ring to attack Orange Cassidy during his match with O’Reilly’s frenemy Adam Cole.

The former NXT Tag Team Champion made his in-ring debut for AEW at the “New Year’s Smash” edition of Dynamite, gaining the pinfall in a trios match against Best Friends.
