O'Reilly made his debut for WWE's NXT brand at the July 12, 2017, television tapings of NXT, which aired on August 2, losing to Aleister Black.[112][113] At NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III, O'Reilly along with Bobby Fish attacked Sanity after they won the NXT Tag Team Championship against The Authors of Pain. They then attacked newly crowned NXT Champion Drew McIntyre later that night, being joined by the debuting Adam Cole, turning heel in the process.[114] The following month, the trio of O'Reilly, Cole, and Fish was officially dubbed The Undisputed Era.[115][116]

On the September 20 episode of NXT, O'Reilly and Fish defeated Tyler Bate and Trent Seven due to interference by Adam Cole. On the October 4 episode, after Roderick Strong's match with Drew McIntyre, The Undisputed Era walked out and patted Strong on the back.

At the event, The Undisputed Era lost to Pete Dunne, Ricochet, and War Raiders (Hanson and Rowe). At NXT TakeOver: Phoenix, O'Reilly and Strong lost the titles to The War Raiders.
