Backstage Note on WWE’s Influence on Busted Open On WWE Radio

WWE is reportedly not directing the editorial content of Busted Open following the show’s move to WWE Radio on SiriusXM. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE sources have said the company is not influencing what Busted Open hosts discuss on the wrestling channel.

Meltzer noted that his sources in WWE have said the company is “staying out of any influence on the Busted Open show.” The report compares WWE’s approach to NFL Radio, which covers league news and related topics without the NFL dictating what hosts should say.

WWE Radio is a 24-hour professional wrestling channel launched in July as a partnership between WWE and SiriusXM. Busted Open is one of the programs featured on the station.

Dave LaGreca hosts the show alongside several co-hosts. The lineup includes Bully Ray, Mark Henry, Tommy Dreamer, Nic Nemeth, and Thunder Rosa. It also features post-show reaction programs following Raw, NXT, and Dynamite.

The show has continued to discuss, praise, and criticize the company’s creative directions since joining WWE Radio.
