from Getting Over: Wrestling Podcast · host Adam Silverstein
WWE shocked fans and the wrestling industry with a second round of talent cuts involving six superstars, most notably Aleister Black and Braun Strowman. Host Adam Silverstein and co-host Chris Vannini immediately convened to provide their instant reaction to the releases of Black, Strowman, Lana, Murphy, Ruby Riott and Santana Garrett [2:20]. The guys discuss why they are floored by Black and Strowman being cut, what's next for all six wrestlers and whether WWE made these decisions because the company is up for sale or simply due to new expenses incurred by the resumption of touring. "The Silver King" then breaks down everything that happened this week in NXT [45:50], including the return of Adam Cole, a Fatal 5-Way main event set for TakeOver: In Your House, why the card for that show is already a bit strange and much more.
