There was also speculation that O&#8217;Reilly may have broken his arm. Post-match, a doctor checked this after a vicious post-match assault by Moxley. Officially, details of the injury were not made public. O&#8217;Reilly confirmed himself later to be suffering from a bulging neck disc injury and arm fracture, which sidelined him from in-ring action.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWFullGear?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#AEWFullGear<\/a><br \/>LIVE 8ET\/5PT<br \/>Saturday, 11\/22!<\/p>\n<p>No Holds Barred<a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JonMoxley?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@JonMoxley<\/a> vs <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KORcombat?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@KORCombat<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Moxley said &quot;Any Time.
