On today's solo Sunday news, Hikulayu cost Jacob Fadu at Night of Champions and his new name has been revealed.

0:07.0

W.E. Talent are already on their way back from Saudi Arabia. A major shakeup coming for NXT, maybe. And there's a backstage update on Otis's WWE state says, hello and welcome to What Culture Wrestling. The solo Sunday News, myself, Andrew Pallard.

I mean, anybody else developed a new love of welcome to the Black Parade lately?

0:32.0

That's one for the welcome to Rex and fans, quite possibly the greatest six or seven minutes in television history. Anyway, also now classed as being in the history books, W.W.E. Night of Champions took place from Riyadh yesterday.

0:40.1

0:44.2

It was done by like 8.30pm.

0:46.0

1:55.7

Yep, I am the table.

1:57.2

The table was not breaking. For those maybe not familiar with Hikuleu, he's the adopted
