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

Today's video begins with the biggest story from last night's AEW Dynamite, that being Cody Rhodes' intended "retirement" speech (00:19). Going down after his loss to Malakai Black, it saw the EVP attempt to remove and leave his boots in the ring, though Black's ambush put a stop to that.
