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

Today's video begins with the Roderick Strong saga (00:50). The former Undisputed Era member has reportedly requested his WWE release several times recently, but it appears the promotion isn't going to budge. Unfortunately for him, Strong signed a contract extension last summer.
