WWE to Launch New Podcasts as Part of Expanded Partnership with Fanatics

WWE is turning up the volume—literally. As part of its expanded partnership with Fanatics, the wrestling giant is set to launch a series of podcasts ahead of WrestleMania 41, which will take place in Las Vegas. Fanatics, their go-to partner for all things e-commerce, merchandise, trading cards, and memorabilia since 2022, will now also step into the podcasting ring as the primary partner for these new ventures.

The inaugural show, "The Raw Recap Show," will debut on Tuesday morning. Hosted by Megan Morant and Sam Roberts, the podcast will break down highlights and news from WWE’s flagship program, "Monday Night Raw." The duo will also deliver instant-reaction episodes following each premium live event, starting with WrestleMania 41. Fans can catch these episodes across platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and iHeartRadio, with episodes also available on WWE’s YouTube channel.

Fanatics will have a significant presence within each podcast, and the shows will leverage access to Fanatics' events and athlete roster. WWE teased that future podcasts might feature some of its biggest superstars and legends, with announcements expected down the line. If you’ve ever dreamed of hearing a WWE Hall of Famer dish out behind-the-scenes tidbits, this might be your moment.

WWE and Fanatics are also teaming up for WWE World in Las Vegas, marking the event’s second outing after its debut in Philadelphia before WrestleMania XL. The road to WrestleMania 41 is officially heating up, with Allegiant Stadium playing host to the two-day extravaganza on April 19 and 20.

The Elimination Chamber event over the weekend clarified the title picture for both men’s and women’s rosters. John Cena, who won the men’s Elimination Chamber match, is set to face Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. In a jaw-dropping twist, Cena made a shocking heel turn, betraying "The American Nightmare" and sending shockwaves through the sports world.

On the women’s side, Bianca Belair clinched victory in her Elimination Chamber match and will go up against either Rhea Ripley or Iyo Sky for the Women’s World Championship. Ripley is set to defend her title against Sky on this week’s "Monday Night Raw."

Meanwhile, Jey Uso and Charlotte Flair, winners of their respective Royal Rumble matches, have chosen their WrestleMania targets. Uso will face Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, while Flair will take on Tiffany Stratton for the WWE Women’s Championship. Needless to say, the WrestleMania buzz is real, and it’s only getting louder.
