UPDATED: Kyle O’Reilly Stretchered Out Of NXT Was A Work

Update: 12:52 AM ET

Kyle O’Reilly is fine according to Raj Giri of Wrestling Inc, and Ryan Satin of FOX Sports.

Both are reporting the off-air segment was part of a storyline, and WWE didn’t anticipate fans would think it had to do with his Type 1 Diabetes. O’Reilly was simply selling the closing angle of the episode.

Got it confirmed, Kyle O'Reilly was just selling the attack, it was a work. They didn't even anticipate that people would think it had to do with O'Reilly having Type One Diabetes. @WrestlingInc

I’m also told that there was no intent to make it look like he was suffering a seizure. That just spread due to what was reported back from the few fans in attendance.
