WWE and Fanatics are expanding their podcast offerings with the launch of “What Do You Wanna Talk About,” a new show hosted by Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. The podcast, sponsored by Wheatley American Vodka, will debut later this month with new episodes airing biweekly.
The show will feature one-on-one conversations between Rhodes and WWE Superstars and Legends, delving into never-before-heard stories and pivotal career moments. Each episode will be served with a personal touch as guests enjoy cocktails made with Wheatley Vodka, the Official Vodka of WWE.
The new podcast builds on Rhodes’ digital franchise that launched in July 2024. That series included high-profile interviews with the likes of Randy Orton and Bianca Belair as Rhodes toured the country in his Wheatley-branded bus. Like its predecessor, the upcoming series will be available on all major audio platforms as well as WWE’s YouTube channel, which currently boasts more than 108 million subscribers.
In March, WWE announced a broader partnership with Fanatics to produce and distribute all WWE podcasts, further strengthening an already successful collaboration. The two companies have worked together across several ventures, including global e-commerce, licensed merchandise, and memorabilia.
As part of this expanded relationship, Fanatics and WWE recently launched “The Raw Recap Show,” hosted by Megan Morant and Sam Roberts. The show offers reactions to each episode of Monday Night Raw. In addition, the duo will host an instant-reaction podcast following every WWE Premium Live Event, starting with WrestleMania 41.
Fanatics first partnered with WWE in 2022 as its exclusive global e-commerce provider. Since then, the companies have extended their relationship to include management of WWE’s global event merchandise business. This partnership has contributed to record-breaking success for WWE live events, including major shows such as WrestleMania and Royal Rumble.
In 2024, the collaboration hit another milestone with the debut of WWE World, Fanatics Events’ first-ever showcase, held during WrestleMania XL in Philadelphia. The event returns for WrestleMania 41 with a five-day interactive fan experience scheduled for April 17–21 at the Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall.
