Andy H. Murray & Adam Wilbourn on Brian Kendrick, AEW, WWE, Shane McMahon & more!

Join WhatCulture's Adam Wilbourn & Andy H. Murray as they bring you Wednesday's rundown of all the latest wrestling news.

Today's video begins with the latest developments in the increasingly complicated Brian Kendrick saga. Released from WWE earlier in the week then booked for AEW Dynamite an hour later, his appearance on last night's show was cancelled when a series of harmful, dangerous conspiracies espoused by Kendrick in the past returned to public conversation (00:30).
