Kyle O’Reilly felt the love when he made his long-awaited return at AEW Revolution.

Kyle O’Reilly was out for over a year and a half as he recovered from neck surgery. He made his surprise return at AEW Revolution, as he confronted Roderick Strong after he won the AEW International Championship. O’Reilly hugged Strong but rejected a clear offer to join the Undisputed Kingdom.

In a post on Instagram, O’Reilly shared his thoughts on his return.

“I felt the love and the energy in Greensboro in my heart all the way down to my loins,” Kyle O’Reilly said. “The same loins that Sting brutally attacked in the Summer of ‘22 which caused a chain reaction rippling up my spine causing my neck to (for lack of a better term) explode. However, I am a peaceful man with no lust for revenge.

“All I desire is to stand on my own two feet again under those bright lights and feel that magical feeling we wrestlers are addicted to. Make sure you tune into @aew Dynamite tonight because it’s the best thing to watch on TV and the greatest show on Earth.”

WrestleZone will have coverage of AEW Dynamite as it airs on March 6.
