A WWE star was pulled from his scheduled match at Saturday’s Worlds Collide event in Los Angeles, with a replacement now confirmed. The injury occurred during a WWE speed match between Joaquin Wilde and Lexis King that took place before Raw last night. Wilde later reassured fans on Twitter that he was okay, despite being knocked out cold during the bout.
Tonight on NXT, it was officially announced that Wilde’s removal led to changes in the Worlds Collide lineup. Wilde was originally set to team with his LWO partners Dragon Lee and Cruz Del Toro against Iguana, Aerostar, and Octagon Jr. During the WWE NXT episode, the latter trio appeared in the crowd, with on-screen graphics showing Wilde being replaced by Lince Dorado, who is currently teaming with Lee and Del Toro.
Lince Dorado, who was released by WWE in November 2021, made a return earlier this year in a wrestler/coach capacity and has wrestled in several NXT live events and Evolve matches since then.
