Injury Forces WWE Main Roster Star Off WWE x AAA Worlds Collide, Replacement Revealed
Joaquin Wilde will no longer be competing at this weekend’s Worlds Collide event.
During the latest episode of WWE NXT, it was announced that Wilde has been removed from the scheduled six-man tag team match taking place this Saturday in Los Angeles. In his place, Lince Dorado will step in to team with Cruz Del Toro and Dragon Lee. The trio is now set to face off against Aero Star, Octagon Jr., and Mr. Iguana—who were seen in the audience during Tuesday night’s NXT broadcast from the WWE Performance Center.
Wilde’s removal comes after he suffered a knockout during a recent taping of WWE Speed in a match against Lexis King, which took place prior to WWE Raw.
“Never been knocked out cold before. So a lot to process right now. But I’m good, no worries,” Wilde wrote on social media following the incident.
Dorado, who returned to WWE earlier this year, has been active on the NXT live event circuit and also made an appearance on a recent episode of WWE Evolve back in April.
