Top AEW star walks away from Adam Cole’s faction amid MJF threat

A former WWE star walked away from his friend Adam Cole, and his group during a backstage segment on AEW Collision, amid a feud with MJF. Cole and his faction have continued their feud with Friedman since last year.

The top AEW star in question is the former NXT star, Kyle O’Reilly. Kyle is currently involved in a storyline with his friends, Adam Cole and Roderick Strong of the Undisputed Kingdom faction. After MJF had recently defeated and seemingly broken Strong’s arm at Full Gear, O’Reilly had carried the 41-year-old out of the arena.

Kyle O’Reilly also ridiculed Cole for being obsessed with MJF at the expense of his friends at Full Gear. Meanwhile, O’Reilly was confronted by Matt Taven and Mike Bennett of The Undisputed Kingdom backstage at AEW Collision. Taven and Bennett asked Kyle to fight alongside them to deal with the MJF threat.

However, O’Reilly walked away from the duo as he seemingly disagreed with the group regarding the MJF situation. He is also set for the Dynamite Diamond Battle Royal next Wednesday.

O’Reilly will attempt to capture the Dynamite Diamond Ring that is currently held by Maxwell Jacob Friedman. It remains to be seen how the 37-year-old plays a factor in the current storyline between Adam Cole and MJF.
