Bitter rivals will become partners next Wednesday.
Finn Balor wanted to get his hands on NXT Tag Team Champions Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch on Wednesday's NXT William Regal gave Balor his wish of a tag team match against Lorcan & Burch for the January 27 episode of NXT, but stated that he needed to find a tag team partner.
Balor cashed in a favor, asking Kyle O'Reilly to be his partner for the match.
O'Reilly was medically cleared from re-aggravating his jaw injury on last Wednesday's episode. O'Reilly suffered the injury at NXT New Year's Evil during his NXT Championship match against Balor.
