Adam Wilbourn & Phil Chambers on Cody & Brandi Rhodes to WWE, AEW reaction & more!
Join WhatCulture's Adam Wilbourn & Phil Chambers as they bring you Wednesday's rundown of all the latest wrestling news.
Unsurprisingly, today's video begins with more on Cody Rhodes, Brandi Rhodes, and their AEW departure, as the reason for their split from the promotion they helped form in 2019 has come to light (00:21).
WWE appears to be the duo's next direction. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but a new report outlines what Vince McMahon intends to do should he get hold of the Rhodes (03:45), with big plans in store for Cody in particular.
Sticking with the topic, we go over some extra backstage details on the split that weren't apparent when the story broke yesterday (06:19) but have since emerged in the fallout.
Finally, we cover a story suggesting that AEW will be slowing down on new wrestler signings ahead of its upcoming television deal negotiations (08:43). Those should start later in 2022.
As always, today's news video closes with your Twitter questions.
