Kyle O’Reilly is back — and he announced his return to AEW in the most fitting way possible, coming home to British Columbia to reunite with The Conglomeration and immediately capturing gold. O’Reilly returned at Dynasty in Vancouver to team with Roderick Strong and Orange Cassidy against The Dogs — Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors, and David Finlay — for the AEW World Trios Championships, and The Conglomeration walked out as champions.
The finish saw O’Reilly submit Connors with the ankle lock, bringing the crowd inside Rogers Arena to their feet in a moment that carried genuine emotional weight given the circumstances of his return. O’Reilly hails from Delta, British Columbia, making the Vancouver setting as perfect a backdrop for a comeback as any performer could hope for. He had been sidelined since December 2025 with a bulging neck disc injury sustained following his No Holds Barred match against Jon Moxley at Full Gear 2025.
Kyle O’Reilly’s Trios Title Win Completes One of AEW Dynasty’s Most Satisfying Storylines
The return had been building in plain sight for weeks. O’Reilly had appeared on the VANCOLOUR podcast and delivered a series of theatrical winks when asked about returning for the Vancouver show, and sources confirmed his involvement as the Conglomeration’s mystery partner just hours before Dynasty began. His reunion with Strong and Cassidy gives AEW one of its most popular trios combinations back together with championship gold, and the personal significance of winning titles in his home province adds a layer of emotional resonance to what was already one of the night’s most anticipated moments.
