Kris Statlander injured her knee on a dive during Wednesday's tag team match on Dynamite - it's a high grade ACL tear, and she's going to be out for quite a while, perhaps six months.
This leaves AEW at the moment with just Big Swole behind Hikaru Shida in the female babyface depth chart, I think they'll have to look to make signings wherever possible.

Cibernetico Part 1 is on in ten minutes - presume they taped this with no fans.

Wales 1-4 Switzerland (nightmare for Wales in Baku, including an own goal to cap it off) Denmark 1-0 Finland (3rd minute goal enough, the Danish defence holds on in Copenhagen) Belgium 0-0 Russia (stalemate in St. Petersburg, Russia shut Belgium's world class attack out)

Today's Euro 2020 games would have been Wales vs. Switzerland, Denmark vs. Finland and Belgium vs. Russia. I'll post my sim results later.
In Copa America, it would have been Australia vs. Uruguay, Paraguay vs. Bolivia and Colombia vs. Ecuador.

Kyrie Irving led the players call tonight, and he believes there's systematic racism in the plans to quarantine the players in Orlando, and says he won't go in order to get social reform (per Shams Charania of The Athletic).

Per the Las Vegas Review Journal, Las Vegas will be named as one of the two hub cities for the NHL Playoffs. The preferred other city is Toronto, but it depends on an announcement by federal government on quarantine rules.

Felt the presentation of Sevilla/Betis was very iffy last night - the "fans in the stands" were pretty much just pixels that sometimes got replaced by slogans, and the crowd noise was too low in the mix. I was expecting FIFA games quality "fans".
Anyway, Italian football returns tonight with the second legs of the Coppa Italia semi finals. Juventus vs. AC Milan is first up, with Inter Milan vs. Napoli tomorrow.

Per the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, this week's show was taped on Tuesday as they wanted to keep the week tight and get talent an extra day home before next week. Probably explains why Dakota Kai was at home able to stream on Wednesday when normally at that time she'd still be at Full Sail after tapings wrap up.
