After a breakthrough performance at TakeOver 31 in the main event against NXT Champion Finn Balor, Kyle O'Reilly had raised the bar for his level of output. At NXT TakeOver: WarGames, he would take part in the titular match along with seven other competitors. However, through his splendid selling, intensity and in-ring skills, O'Reilly once again stood out from the pack.

Starting the Men's WarGames Match against Pete Dunne, the two men once again showed the phenomenal chemistry that they displayed in their engrossing ladder match from a few weeks prior. His tremendous selling was on showcase throughout with Team McAfee holding the WarGames advantage always putting him at disadvantage.

The former three-time NXT Tag Team Champion showed a compelling amount of bravado when he challenged Pat McAfee to give him his best shot. He constantly delivered individual and double team innovations being back in the ring with his Undisputed Era teammates. O'Reilly felt renewed in this WarGames main event.

Being the MVP for his team, it was Kyle who got the decisive fall that gave Undisputed Era their first victory in WarGames since their inaugural voyage into the steel cage structure. This was a master class in babyface fire and engaging in-ring prowess. Kyle O'Reilly is an indisputable main event level player and proved it once again in his effort here.
