Kyle O’Reilly earns Championship match on AEW Dynamite
Kyle O’Reilly has earned himself a shot at the AEW Continental Championship.
On Wednesday, May 20, 2026, during the three-hour special episode of AEW Dynamite and Collision, fans saw Kyle O’Reilly face Jon Moxley in a 20-minute AEW Continental Championship Eliminator match.
Similar to their previous outings, O’Reilly mostly dominated the match and almost won the match. However, instead of giving up to O’Reilly’s submission like their previous matches, Moxley held on through the pain.
Despite failing to defeat Moxley, O’Reilly survived the bout, which ended after the time limit expired. Immediately after the match ended in a draw, it was announced that O’Reilly earned a title match just by surviving Moxley. However, the AEW Trios Champion noted that he did not want a time limit attached during his upcoming title shot at Moxley’s Continental title.
Moxley will now officially defend his AEW Continental Championship against O’Reilly at the Double or Nothing PPV in a no-time limit match.
