Kyle O’Reilly was recently interviewed by “Talksport”. During the interview, he discussed the influence that UK crowds have had on fans in the United States, his journey to become a WWE superstar, and who he’d still like to get in the ring with. Here are the highlights:

On The Fans In The UK:

The crowds in the UK influence the crowds in the US. Certain chants and the way the crowd interacts in the US never used to happen until the scene started breaking out in the UK like it has. I love coming to the UK because the crowd are so lively, so into everything, singing and chanting.

On Wanting To Be On The Main Roster:

That’s pretty much what my life long journey has been about, to one day perform at Wrestlemania. Who knows when, or if, that will happen, but it’s what drives me every day – and it doesn’t mean when it does happen I’ll be done.

On Becoming A WWE Superstar:

When I was a kid and I wanted to be a wrestler it was all WWE – I didn’t know about this whole subculture of independents, the scene in Japan and the scene in Britain – once I figured that out and started to get my feet wet then that’s what I wanted to do, I just loved performing at the independent level. But once you get that opportunity at WWE, at NXT – because for the longest time guys like me, we weren’t getting signed by WWE – but then things started changing. The Daniel Bryans, the Sami Zayn’s, the Kevin Owens – they started getting signed and they were former Ring of Honor guys – And I was a former Ring of Honor guy!

On Who He’d Like To Wrestle:

Certainly another match under the NXT banner with Kushida would be ideal. A singles match with Matt Riddle would be awesome. There’s so many guys I think I’d mesh well with, but I’m such a fan of that pseudo-MMA style that those are guys I feel I could tear it down with.
