Joaquin Wilde may have just been pulled out of one of the biggest crossover events of the year—before Monday Night RAW even went live.

The LWO member was injured during a WWE Speed match taped before the June 2 episode of RAW in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Wilde was facing NXT star Lexis King when the incident occurred, and fans in attendance quickly noticed something was off. Wilde had to be helped to the back after the match, sparking immediate concern about his condition.

So far, WWE hasn’t issued any formal update, but eyewitnesses said Wilde was visibly hurt and unable to leave under his own power.

The timing couldn’t be worse. Wilde was scheduled to compete this Saturday at WWE & AAA Worlds Collide in Los Angeles—just hours before Money in the Bank airs. He was booked to team with Dragon Lee and Cruz Del Toro in a six-man tag against AAA’s Aero Star, Mr. Iguana, and Octagon Jr. Now, with this injury casting doubt on his availability, WWE may have to shuffle the lineup last minute.

Wilde has been one of the more agile and electric members of the LWO, and his potential absence would deal a serious blow to the energy of the match, not to mention WWE’s growing partnership with AAA.

We’ll keep you posted as soon as more details surface about the severity of Wilde’s injury or any changes to the Worlds Collide card.

Should WWE replace Joaquin Wilde now or wait to see if he’s cleared in time for Saturday? Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us what you’d do.
