Big Update on Kyle O’Reilly’s Future

As noted, Ring of Honor Champion Kyle O’Reilly turned down a contract renewal offer from ROH shortly before Wrestle Kingdom 11.

According to PWInsider.com, O’Reilly’s ROH deal expired on 12/31, and he is currently evaluating his options. The options for O’Reilly include possible negotiations with WWE, and he could also potentially sign a deal with Flosports which would then see him dealt to various wrestling companies on Flosports’ streaming service. For now it’s being said O’Reilly and ROH will continue to work on a per appearance basis until O’Reilly makes a longterm decision.
