Corey Graves to host WWE Podcast Network’s first weekly show

WWE’s official podcast network is set to launch later this month.

WWE announced today that the podcast network’s first show will be called “After the Bell.” It will be hosted by Corey Graves, with the premiere episode being released on Wednesday, October 30.

The podcast is described as: “Each Wednesday, Graves will break down the action from WWE’s flagship programming, taking listeners on a captivating ride through the hottest WWE storylines while he catches up with the most noteworthy Superstars of the week.” A one-minute trailer for the show is now available.

Paul “Triple H” Levesque will be a guest on the debut episode of After the Bell. 

“After the Bell will deliver unprecedented access to the biggest WWE Superstars and storylines week in and week out,” Graves said. “No other podcast can say that. As WWE’s first podcast, we have the responsibility to ask the burning questions, and it’s going to be a wild ride.”

In August, it was revealed that WWE and Endeavor Audio were partnering together to launch the WWE Podcast Network. WWE noted today that more podcasts for it will be announced in the near future.

WWE and Endeavor Audio are partnering together for a podcast network.

It was announced via the Hollywood Reporter today that WWE and Endeavor Audio have agreed to develop “a podcast network that will feature several series focused on [WWE’s] superstar wrestlers.” WWE noted that further details, including launch timing and content creative, will be revealed in the coming weeks.

“Storytelling is at WWE’s core and we are eager to add the audio genre to our portfolio,” WWE Advanced Media executive vice president Jayar Donlan said. “Partnering with Endeavor Audio, an expert in podcasting, will enable us to provide our fans with unique content and reach new audiences across the platform.”

“We’re always looking to pair dynamic content with the best formats for listeners. Through our new partnership with WWE, we’re looking forward to tapping into their iconic event portfolio and talent base to create compelling audio content for their fans,” Endeavor Audio senior vice president Moses Soyoola said.

In January, it was announced that WWE was leaving Disney Streaming Services and would be partnering with Endeavor Streaming as their streaming provider for the WWE Network. The updated design for the Network launched last month.

Nikki & Brie Bella’s “The Bellas Podcast” is already part of Endeavor Audio.

WWE previously partnered with PodcastOne for a “30 Years of WrestleMania” podcast in 2014.
