If you enjoyed Kushida’s match against Kyle O’Reilly on NXT, last night…you’re not alone.
The WWE NXT Cruiserweight Champion took to Twitter this morning to reveal that he nearly retired in 2017 due to severe abdominal pains that also took a toll on his mental health. But he recalled that one of the major factors in his decision to keep wrestling was his desire to face O’Reilly in a WWE ring.

O’Reilly defeat Kushida in a non-title bout in the main event of WWE NXT on Tuesday. The two stars had faced off a few times in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro-Wrestling, but their bout on Tuesday was their first encounter in WWE.
