Edge's New WWE Gimmick Blocks AEW Debut! (VIDEO)

Andy H. Murray & Adam Wilbourn on Edge, Gangrel, Brock Lesnar, Adam Cole & more!

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

We begin today's video with an unexpected story, as WWE's recent decision to lean heavily on Brood nostalgia with Edge led to AEW kyboshing a planned surprise on this week's Dynamite (00:33). Edge worked vampiric tropes into his SummerSlam storyline with Seth Rollins, before and during the show.

From there, we talk Brock Lesnar (04:16), covering a new report on the big man's new contract with WWE.

It's over to Adam Cole after that. WWE now consider the former NXT Champion "done" until further notice (06:04), with the 32-year-old set to become a free agent later today.

Finally, we talk USA Network, who currently broadcast Raw and NXT and aren't best pleased that SmackDown has all of WWE's shiny toys at the moment (08:16), with Becky Lynch and Brock Lesnar both blue brand bound.

As always, today's news video closes with your Twitter questions.
