Tony Khan reveals a major star will not be part of Continental Classic

Kyle O'Reilly had an epic battle with Jon Moxley at Full Gear. The Conglomeration member stood tall over The One True King. However, the No Holds Barred match did more damage to Kyle than to Jon. Following the contest, O'Reilly was checked by the doctors.

While speaking at Full Gear's media scrum, Tony Khan revealed that Kyle wanted to take part in this year's Continental Classic tournament. However, he wouldn't because he might be dealing with injuries following the violent match.

"Kyle O’Reilly will probably be out of action and it’s unfortunate because Kyle did want to wrestle in the Continental Classic he was really excited about it… I think Kyle’s probably not going to be cleared and will probably have to deal with some injuries coming out of what was an incredible no-holds-barred match," said Khan.

It remains to be seen who the participants in the 2025 Continental Classic will be.
