In late July 2026, AEW star Thunder Rosa announced her departure from Busted Open Radio after four years, coinciding with SiriusXM’s rebranding of its Pro Wrestling Nation channel to WWE Radio. The new WWE Radio service will broadcast live WWE events and podcasts, while Busted Open will remain on the lineup but Rosa was omitted from the presenter roster, sparking speculation about AEW talent’s ability to appear on a WWE‑controlled platform. A week later, following WWE’s SummerSlam, the company’s chief executive Nick Khan reassured Busted Open hosts that the SiriusXM partnership would not alter the show’s critical editorial style. Khan praised the program’s willingness to critique WWE and emphasized that the network values independent commentary. Meanwhile, Bully Ray interpreted SummerSlam’s match ending as a covert message to AEW champion Jon Moxley, highlighting the ongoing tension between WWE and its rival promotion. Together, the snapshots trace the evolving dynamics of WWE’s new radio collaboration: talent adjustments, concerns over editorial independence, and WWE’s public commitment to preserving Busted Open’s critical voice amid the partnership. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-03: WWE and Busted Open Radio maintain critical coverage after SummerSlam, says Nick Khan Bully Ray claims SummerSlam’s finish signaled a message to Jon Moxley, while WWE CEO Nick Khan assures Busted Open Radio it will keep its critical coverage after the SiriusXM deal. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/wwe-and-busted-open-radio-maintain-critical-coverage-after-summerslam-says-nick-khan ### 2026-07-23: Thunder Rosa Departs Busted Open Radio as SiriusXM Becomes WWE Radio Thunder Rosa leaves Busted Open Radio after four years as SiriusXM rebrands to WWE Radio, ending her on‑air role amid the new WWE‑controlled lineup. 12 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/wwe-radio-launches-on-siriusxm-busted-open-continues-under-new-branding --- Cite as: WWE‑SiriusXM partnership with Busted Open Radio.
