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.

A troubling situation is unfolding in WWE, with Gerald Brisco, Sarah Stock, and Mike Rontuda all let go from the promotion within the past 24 hours (00:32). All three were furloughed as part of WWE's April cutbacks. It now looks like another round of budget cuts is on the horizon, though it's currently unclear whether or not this will mean more independent contractors losing their jobs.
