WWE Firings, Adnan Virk Replacement For Raw Commentary Revealed (VIDEO)
Andy H. Murray & Adam Wilbourn on Adnan Virk, masses WWE release, John Cena backstage heat & more.
Join WhatCulture's Andy H. Murray and Adam Wilbourn as they bring you Wednesday's rundown of all the latest wrestling news.
Today's video begins with the sudden WWE release of Adnan Virk (00:24), who was let go in what the company described as a "mutually agreed parting of ways" yesterday. Virk's tenure as Raw's lead play-by-play announcer lasted just six weeks, with the former ESPN broadcaster coming in after WrestleMania 37, replacing Tom Phillips.
Who will replace Virk in the Raw booth? WWE is yet to make a formal announcement, though a new report points towards the two leading candidates (03:17).
WWE's swooping cuts continued elsewhere yesterday, as the promotion let go of at least 35 people in various behind-the-scenes departments (05:04), including WWE Studios.
Finally, we talk John Cena, who may be catching backstage heat in WWE (08:24) after apologising to China for calling Taiwan a country earlier this week.
As always, today's news video finishes with all your Twitter questions.
