As mentioned earlier, Cole’s contract with the WWE expired in July. Instead of walking out of the company he chose to sign a short term deal in order to put O’Reilly over on his way out.

The two met in a two out of three falls match tonight. All three matches had different stipulations.

The first one was a regular match. The second fall was a street fight and the final fall, if it came to that, was a steel cage match.


O’Reilly managed to pick up a quick win in their normal match before Cole even the odds in their street fight.


Down to the Steel Cage match, O’Reilly managed to bring the match to an end after forcing Cole into a submission.

Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
