– In an interview with Live Audio Wrestling, Kyle O’Reilly spoke about his feud with Adam Cole, MMA in pro wrestling and more. Here are highlights:

On the Best of the Super Juniors: “It’s great pressure to have, but there’s definitely pressure and a lot of it. It seems like every match is a build up of immense pressure, and then as soon as the match is over it’s a release, then another build up of pressure knowing that another big match is coming. It’s just a part of wrestling.”

On adding MMA to his wrestling matches: “It seems to be the wild west in that regard, seeing what works and what doesn’t work. Some things may elicit a better reaction than other things. It’s kind of making it up as I go along. It helps actually training in martial arts and having the grappling and kickboxing background. When you have the techniques, it looks better.”

On his feud with Adam Cole: “Our paths are intertwined, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. We were talking after watching Payback, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn having a match at WrestleMania, and their feud goes back to their indy days. You can’t help but to think we’re on the same path, and if we are, we’re very lucky.”
