Controversy Around WWE’s World Collide Event and L.A. Park‘s Absence
WWE has come under scrutiny following a promotional error involving the Worlds Collide event scheduled for September 12 at the Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas, Nevada. The company mistakenly featured the image of WCW’s La Parka (now known as L.A. Park) instead of the current La Parka on event graphics. This mix-up added confusion regarding participation in the show.
L.A. Park addressed the error on social media, clarifying that he would not be competing at Worlds Collide and expressed frustration over WWE‘s recurring use of his image for promotional purposes.
“You already know how they always put me up there to confuse people, but it’s not me, well, the one in the image is me, but I’m not going to go,” Ibarra tweeted in Spanish.

The Worlds Collide event will include a Lucha Showcase eight-man tag team match featuring La Parka alongside Mascarita Sagrada, Niño Hamburguesa, and Octagón Jr. against Cruz Del Toro, Joaquin Wilde, Lince Dorado, and Mini Abismo Negro, promising a night of high-energy action for fans.
