At the end of the Adam Cole vs. Orange Cassidy match on Dynamite, Bobby Fish got on the apron to distract the referee and Kyle O’Reilly came into the ring and took out Orange Cassidy, helping Adam Cole pick up the win. After the match, Cole, Fish & O’Reilly continued to attack Cassidy, then the Best Friends.
The Young Bucks eventually walked down, looking confused and skeptical, and after a bit of tension, Cole, Fish & O’Reilly walked backstage by themselves, leaving the Bucks in the ring.
O’Reilly’s WWE/NXT contract officially expired earlier this month and he was free to sign with AEW right away.
