The WWE is about to bodyslam SiriusXM.
The satellite radio giant has inked a deal with the TKO-owned wrestling company to launch a new station, WWE Radio, which will include live audio coverage of the WWE’s premium live events like WrestleMania, select weekly episodes of shows like Raw, as well as a slew of ancillary programming.
WWE Radio will take over channel 156 starting July 27, which had been Pro Wrestling Nation 24/7.
The launch comes ahead of WWE SummerSlam, one of the company’s signature PLEs, which will be available live on the channel with Vic Joseph and Booker T calling it for radio, as well as other programming leading up to the event.
WWE podcasts produced in partnership with Fanatics like What Do You Want to Talk About? hosted by Cody Rhodes;Six Feet Under with The Undertaker; What’s Your Story? with Steph McMahon and WWE Now, Raw Recap hosted by Sam Roberts and Megan Morant will run on the channel, as will some of SiriusXM’s existing wrestling shows, including its longtime flagship show, Busted Open, (hosts Dave LaGreca, Bully Ray, Mark Henry, and Nic Nemeth); Notsam Wrestling Live, (Sam Roberts);Cheap Heat Live (Peter Rosenberg); The Hart Beat with Natalya, and Off the Ropes, (hosted by Raj Dhesi, Mark Henry and Tommy Dreamer).
