And from the bottom of my heart – thank you for never letting him be forgotten.”
Kyle O’Reilly talks about his in-ring return: “It was extremely special just to come back. Nothing in life is guaranteed from a life standpoint, let alone from a matches standpoint.

My family was there, my friends were there. It was a really special high-stakes, emotional night for sure.”
