"Never been knocked out cold before. So a lot to process right now," Wilde wrote. "But I'm good, no worries." This update is a positive sign, especially considering his upcoming commitments.
Wilde, an accomplished talent long before joining WWE, made a name for himself in TNA/Impact Wrestling as Zema Ion and later DJZ. During his tenure there, he captured the X Division Championship on two occasions and was also a former Impact World Tag Team Champion. He signed with WWE in 2019, initially competing on 205 Live and NXT.

Alex BierensOn SmackDown, Legado Del Fantasma eventually aligned with the returning Rey Mysterio to form the new Latino World Order (LWO), feuding with groups like The Judgment Day. Recently, Wilde and his tag team partner, Cruz Del Tor,o have seen somewhat sporadic usage on main roster programming.
Their last major appearance prior to this week was in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on SmackDown during WrestleMania 41 weekend in April. The LWO has also been impacted by Rey Mysterio being out of action since that same period due to a groin injury.

Despite this recent scare, Wilde is currently scheduled to team with fellow LWO members Cruz Del Toro and Dragon Lee to face AAA's Octagon Jr., Aero Star, and Mr. Iguana at the WWE x AAA Worlds Collide special event this Saturday, June 7th. His confirmation that he is "good" suggests he is expected to be ready for that inter-promotional trios match.

WWE Money In The Bank 2025: 10 Things You Must Know
TULSA, OKLAHOMA - JUNE 02: Bron Breakker, Seth Rollins, Bronson Reed and Paul Heyman stand tall ... More during Monday Night RAW at BOK Center on June 2, 2025 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. (Photo by Rich Freeda/WWE via Getty Images) WWE is taking over southern California this weekend with Smackdown, Worlds Collide and Money in the Bank emanating from the Los Angeles area. Fans have endured some roster transition over the past week, so there is some pressure for the promotion to produce an entertaining and memorable premium live event on Saturday. Here's the 10 things you must know about Money in the Bank 2025. WWE Money in the Bank 2025 is scheduled for Saturday, June 7, 2025. The event will take place at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Yes, tickets are still available for purchase through various outlets. Ticketmaster's cheapest available ticket early on Thursday morning was $238 while the most expensive was $9,320. The main event figures to be the high-profile tag team match featuring Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso vs John Cena and Logan Paul. While this match is heavy on star power, there isn't much attached to it besides the chances that the men's MITB winner will cash in on a depleted Cena at the end of the match. If there is no surprise entrant into the MITB match–like Karrion Kross–one surprise that we could see is Becky Lynch aligning herself with her real-life husband Seth Rollins–helping him win MITB. I have written this before, but I believe we're headed for a mixed tag-team match at Summerslam that sees Seth and Becky take on CM Punk and AJ Lee. Quite honestly, it's going to be a hard sell for anyone in the men's MITB to win besides Rollins. There could be a case made for Penta, but as it is, having Rollins win his second briefcase would make the most sense. Rollins' 2014 cash-in–which is arguably the greatest in WWE history–would be tough for the future Hall-of-Famer to top, but with Paul Heyman and others involved, there's plenty of routes to take to make it stand on its own. If I'm being totally honest, no one deserves the opportunity more than Naomi. She has been amazing on her heel run. The way she's been lurking in the shadows over the past week is a perfect setup for a MITB run. Color me Team Naomi for this one.

'We want WrestleMania to come to London': Mayor makes pitch to WWE legend Triple H
London Mayor Sadiq Khan made a pitch to World Wrestling Entertainment legend Paul "Triple H" Levesque to bring the wrestling promotion's biggest event, Wrestlemania, to the U.K. capital. "I'd love for WrestleMania to come to London," Khan told CNBC's Tania Bryer. "Triple H if you're watching, we want WrestleMania to come to London." Speculation has been rife about London as a destination since 2023 when wrestling legend John Cena made a surprise appearance at a show in the city and gave backing to the idea of bringing WrestleMania to the British capital. If the event, dubbed the "Super Bowl of Wrestling," were to come to the U.K.'s capital city, it would be the first time the event is hosted outside of North America. Levesque, whose ring name is Triple H, is now chief content officer of the WWE. Khan held talks with Levesque in July last year, adding to the speculation. He then made a further pitch for London during the CNBC interview. "If WrestleMania came to London, my message to the team there is that we wouldn't just have a great weekend, we'd have a festival, of you know, legends in WrestleMania coming to London, current stars, but also future stars as a well," Khan said. "It will open a completely new market for them as well." WrestleMania 41, the biggest show in the WWE calendar, was held in Las Vegas this year. The two-day event takes place over a weekend with shows such as "Smackdown" and "Raw" usually taking place around the time of the main event. Khan described London as the "sporting capital of the world," touting events such as the tennis at Wimbledon and even American football matches as evidence of its sporting achievements. WWE, which is owned by TKO Group, has looked to expand the appeal and audience of the wrestling brand. WWE's Monday night weekly show "Raw" began streaming on Netflix this year. Khan said London could provide WWE the chance to expand further. "I think the potential has not been reached in terms of WrestleMania. We are the sporting capital in my view, of the world. And if WrestleMania wants to expand, the obvious place to come is London," Khan said.
