Kyle O'Reilly reveals the inspiration for his unique wrestling style in WWE

Before Kyle O'Reilly signed with WWE in 2017, he made his name by performing in various wrestling promotions across the world. Some of his most notable matches took place in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, where he wrestled as one-half of reDRagon alongside current NXT star Bobby Fish.

His workrate and unique wrestling style were the strengths which put him on the radar and got him signed to WWE. He has since been competing in WWE NXT where, as of late, he has been flourishing as a singles competitor.

In a recent interview with ViBe and Wrestling, Kyle O'Reilly described his in-ring skill set and stated that his technique was inspired by several different wrestling styles.

"For me, as a style, I try to take aspects from the Japanese style, British style, American and Canadian style and I try to blend them as much as I can," said O'Reilly. "I am such a fan of all these uniques styles, not to mention the lucha libre style. There’s so many variables and styles in this sport, and that’s what’s so beautiful about it, like it is a true art form."

O'Reilly went on to explain how he incorporates the diverse range of wrestling styles into his moveset:

"I try to develop my style and patern on that and if I can take little bits and snippets from everywhere and sort of blend them seamlessly so it doesn’t seem like I’m forcing this or I am trying to hard to do this and it looks natural." O'Reilly continued. "I think that’s what's really cool, and I’d love to see those sort of styles blend."
