WWE and Fanatics have announced a new collaboration in the form of a podcast deal, expanding on their existing partnership that includes various ventures such as global e-commerce, licensed merchandise, memorabilia, and trading cards. As part of this agreement, Fanatics will now serve as the primary partner for all WWE podcasts.
The first podcast to be launched under this new partnership is “The Raw Recap Show,” hosted by Megan Morant and Sam Roberts. This show will provide a reaction to each weekly episode of “Monday Night Raw” and will be available for streaming on Netflix the day after the show airs.
Additionally, WWE will introduce an instant-reaction podcast hosted by Morant and Roberts following each Premium Live Event, starting with WrestleMania 41. Fanatics will have a prominent presence within these podcasts, and the shows will also have access to Fanatics’ events and network of athletes.
Morant and Roberts are no strangers to hosting together, having previously co-hosted various WWE talkback shows such as “The Bump,” “SmackDown LowDown,” and “Raw Talk” on Peacock.
Both “The Raw Recap Show” and the instant-reaction podcast will be accessible on all podcast platforms and WWE’s YouTube channel. Furthermore, WWE plans to announce additional podcasts hosted by WWE “Superstars and Legends” in the future.
Fanatics became WWE’s exclusive global e-commerce partner in 2022, and their partnership has since expanded to include the operation of WWE’s global event merchandise business, including major events like WrestleMania and the Royal Rumble.
In a collaborative effort, Fanatics Events and WWE launched the first “WWE World” in Philadelphia last year during WrestleMania XL. The two brands are set to join forces again in April for a five-day festival in Las Vegas coinciding with WrestleMania 41.
This new podcast deal between WWE and Fanatics marks another milestone in their growing partnership, offering fans more ways to engage with the world of WWE beyond the traditional platforms. Stay tuned for exciting content and discussions from your favorite WWE personalities on these upcoming podcasts.
