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

A major creative shakeup is going down in WWE NXT, with the black and gold brand's lead writer quitting last week (00:44). That's not all, however, as the promotion recently added several new people to the team, suggesting big changes could soon be afoot for a show that has continually failed to defeat AEW Dynamite in the Wednesday Night Wars.

After NXT, we pivot over to AEW for a looking at the group's decision to bring fans back to live shows starting next week (03:32). Yesterday's WWE ThunderDome rehearsal yielded several images of what the wild, over-the-top "viewing experience" is going to look like when it debuts on tonight's episode of SmackDown (06:39), and we finish with some news on Dominik Mysterio (08:30), who is already discussing changing his ring name and wearing a lucha mask.

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