After working in various indie promotions Kyle O’Riley signed with ROH. In 2009, O’Reilly made his Ring of Honour (ROH) début. O’Reilly then proceeded to join up with fellow ROH rookie Adam Cole, establishing a tag team. ROH announced on July 25 that O’Reilly had re-signed with the promotion. The tag combo of O’Reilly and Cole was christened Future Shock at the Ring of Honour Wrestling tapings on August 13. Future Shock dissolved at the Ring of Honour Wrestling tapings on January 7, 2012, and O’Reilly established a new tag team called Team Ambition with Davey Richards, opposing Adam Cole and Eddie Edwards.
O’Reilly met Cole on March 31 at Showdown in the Sun and beat him using an underhanded strategy. O’Reilly was beaten by Cole in a “Hybrid Rules” match on June 24 at Best in the World 2012: Hostage Crisis. Following that, O’Reilly smacked Cole as he attempted to reconcile with his old partner and subsequently claimed that he was now going after Richards, solidifying his heel turn.

O’Reilly and Bobby Fish assaulted Sanity after they won the NXT Tag Team Championship against The Authors of Pain at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III. Later that night, they assaulted newly crowned NXT Champion Drew McIntyre, who was joined by newcomer Adam Cole, who turned heel in the process. The triumvirate of O’Reilly, Cole, and Fish was called The Undisputed Era the following month.
O’Reilly and Fish beat Tyler Bate and Trent Seven on the September 20 edition of NXT due to Adam Cole’s intervention. The Undisputed Era stepped out and clapped Roderick Strong on the back after his match with Drew McIntyre on the October 4 program. The Undisputed Era presented Roderick Strong with an Undisputed Era wristband on the October 25 program, with Cole reminding Strong that he is “not a loser” and offered him a spot in their organization.

O’Reilly and Fish disrupted Roderick Strong vs. Adam Cole on NXT on November 8, resulting in a big brawl among the WarGames teams.

On the August 5 edition of NXT, he and Fish challenged Marcel Barthel and Fabian Aichner of Imperium for the NXT Tag Team Championship but were unsuccessful.
After failing to capture the championship, O’Reilly renewed his feud with Cole, and a rematch was scheduled for The Great American Bash, in which O’Reilly was beaten by Cole. He feuded with Cole until he defeated him at NXT TakeOver 36, therefore ending the feud. After his battle with Cole ended, O’Reilly formed an uneasy alliance with newcomer Von Wagner, who assisted him in repelling an onslaught by Pete Dunne and Ridge Holland.
O’Reilly and Wagner teamed up to defeat Dunne and Holland on the October 12 edition of NXT 2.0. Soon after declaring their aspirations for the NXT Tag Team Championship, they defeated Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza on the November 30 program to become the number one contenders. O’Reilly and Wagner battled the defending champions Imperium in a losing effort at NXT WarGames, and after the match, Wagner attempted to attack O’Reilly, but O’Reilly countered his assault.
On the next edition of NXT 2.0, O’Reilly faced Wagner in a steel cage match but was beaten and had his skull repeatedly battered with the steel cage door by Wagner after the bout. O’Reilly’s WWE contract expired on December 10 and he elected not to extend it, therefore this would be his final appearance in NXT.
