Adam Wilbourn and Andy H. Murray bring you today's daily news briefing.

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

Today's video begins with the latest development surrounding WWE's third-party platform ban (00:37), as the promotion moves to take control of all performers' Twitch accounts within the next four weeks. Democrat politician Andrew Yang has also commented on the matter, continuing his ongoing campaign for better working rights for professional wrestlers, who remain hindered by their status as "independent contractors."

From there we talk about a new report on the WWE backstage reaction to news that the company may be heading on the road after the ThunderDome deal expires (04:18), before diving into an update on Edge's recovery from injury (06:20).

The last story is a more light-hearted affair, with AEW's Miro telling the company's Unrestricted podcast all about the horrendous gimmick WWE wanted to kill him with prior to his release (08:46).
