After a day off on Tuesday, this crazy week of wrestling gets even crazier as the Wednesday Night Wars kick off with NXT going head-to-head with AEW Dynamite, and it looks like WWE are ready to unleash a stacked card.

Johnny Gargano will likely elevate the rising Shane Thorne in their singles match, though the former NXT Champion will emerge victorious. Elsewhere, with Rhea Ripley still lurking (and due a rematch), Candice LeRae will fall to Women's Champion Shayna Baszler in a firecracker bout, before The Undisputed Era's Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish overcome The Street Profits, freeing Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford for a proper main roster call-up.

A TakeOver-calibre bout between NXT Champion Adam Cole and Matt Riddle headlines, but things don't look too rosy for the champ. Cole was seen sporting a cast on his right arm recently:-

There's no word on whether or not the Riddle match will be canned, but Cole was the first name mentioned in last week's worked "NXT injury report" video. There's a strong chance he isn't actually hurt. Either way, expect Cole to use the cast to help him overcome 'The Original Bro,' potentially via disqualification.
