Kyle O'Reilly had to be stretchered out of WWE's Capitol Wrestling Center on Wednesday night after this week's episode of NXT went off the air. Photos of the incident started popping up on Twitter shortly after the show ended, with a few fans claiming the former tag champion had suffered a seizure. However, since then FOX Sports' Ryan Satin has confirmed O'Reilly was merely selling the attack from Adam Cole that came at the end of the episode.
"From what I'm being told, Kyle O'Reilly did not suffer a real seizure after NXT tonight and did not suffer a medical episode," Satin wrote. "According to WWE sources, it was all just part of storyline. Happy to hear he's okay."

The show closed with a six-man tag match pitting O'Reilly, Finn Balor and Roderick Strong against Pete Dunne, Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch. The heels won after Dunne pinned Balor, and Cole further cemented his heel turn by hitting O'Reilly with a Brainbuster on the steel ring steps.

Cole shockingly turned heel on Sunday at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day, attacking both Balor and O'Reilly after the Undisputed Era saved Balor from an attack by Burch and Lorcan. By every indication, the Undisputed Era is breaking up as a result.
What needed to be done.
