WWE and SiriusXM executives describe the venture as the most comprehensive wrestling audio platform, emphasizing exclusive access and live-event coverage that brings fans closer to the action, wherever they listen.
SiriusXM is launching WWE Radio on July 27, giving wrestling fans a dedicated 24/7 channel on SiriusXM channel 156, according to WWE and SiriusXM. The new channel replaces Pro Wrestling Nation 24/7, which itself had only launched in 2025, per Radio Insight.
The channel's debut comes just days before SummerSlam, with live on-site broadcasts planned from Minneapolis on August 1–2. Vic Joseph and Booker T will call the action live. WWE and SiriusXM are billing the venture as "the most comprehensive wrestling audio platform" ever built, per Barrett Media.
WWE Radio Replaces Pro Wrestling Nation on Channel 156
SiriusXM channel 156 has changed identities before. It was called Fight Nation before becoming Pro Wrestling Nation 24/7 in 2025, according to Radio Insight. Now it becomes WWE Radio — the official, branded home of WWE audio. The switch flips on July 27.
WWE Radio will carry live play-by-play audio for all major WWE Premium Live Events. That includes WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series. Select episodes of Raw will also air live on the channel, per Fightful.
SummerSlam Weekend Kicks Off the Channel's Live Era
The first big test comes fast. WWE Radio will broadcast live from Minneapolis on August 1 and 2 for SummerSlam weekend. Vic Joseph handles play-by-play. Booker T joins him on color commentary. It is the channel's first on-site event, per WWE.
Pre-event buildup will also air on the channel in the days leading into SummerSlam. The plan is a week-to-week mix of live events, recaps, and exclusive content — not just one-off broadcasts, according to That Eric Alper.
Star-Studded Podcast Lineup Anchors the Daily Schedule
WWE Radio is not just live events. The channel adds a full slate of shows. Cody Rhodes hosts What Do You Want to Talk About? The Undertaker anchors Six Feet Under. Steph McMahon hosts What's Your Story? Sam Roberts and Megan Morant host WWE Now, Raw Recap, per Barrett Media.
Existing SiriusXM wrestling shows stay on the channel too. That includes Busted Open, Notsam Wrestling Live, The Hart Beat with Natalya, Off the Ropes with Raj Dhesi, Mark Henry and Tommy Dreamer, and Cheap Heat Live with Peter Rosenberg, according to Fightful.
Executives Frame Deal as a Unified Wrestling Audio Home
Both companies described the deal in big terms. WWE and SiriusXM executives called it a move to bring fans "closer to the action, wherever they listen," per WWE. The goal is to put all WWE audio — live events, podcasts, and weekly shows — under one roof for the first time.
Barrett Media framed it as a strategic push to grow fan engagement across platforms. The Fanatics-backed podcast deals are a key part of that. WWE is using its roster of talent to build a programming slate that runs around the clock, not just on event nights.
