Tony Khan To Announce AEW Continental Classic Field Early This Week, Kyle O’Reilly Likely Out

Tony Khan says he’ll announce the participants in the AEW Continental Classic early this week, but Kyle O’Reilly will likely be out of it. The tournament starts on this week’s AEW Dynamite. Khan spoke after Full Gear about the tournament, noting that he will announce the competitors in the two fields in the coming days.

Khan did note that Kyle O’Reilly is unlikely to be cleared for the tournament after his match with Jon Moxley. O’Reilly defeated Moxley but was assaulted after the match. You can see highlights from Khan’s comments below:

On Announcing the Field This Week:

“Coming out of tonight, that was such a hard-hitting show. So many of the wrestlers, women and men, beat up. And coming into the week, it’s going to be a very exciting week of AEW. I’m back in the trainer’s room across the hall. We’re still working through but I’ve got a very good idea of who will be participating. And I will be announcing early this week who all the Continental participants in the Gold and the Blue League are.”

On O’Reilly Being Likely Out of the Classic:

“One change. After the actions of Jon Moxley and after the hard-hitting match, Kyle O’Reilly will probably be out of action. And it’s unfortunate, because Kyle did want to wrestle in the Continental Classic. He was really excited about it. And he’s been breaking through, he’s had some of the biggest wins of his career. I was excited to see Kyle O’Reilly in the field, but I think Kyle’s probably not gonna be cleared. And we’ll probably have to deal with some injuries coming out of the No Holds Barred Match.”
