Spotify will be the exclusive home for WWE podcasts under a new pact, including a new original audio content developed by WWE and Spotify’s The Ringer division, Variety reported.
The Ringer, the digital media and podcast company founded by ex-ESPN exec Bill Simmons that Spotify bought in 2020, plans to launch an exclusive audio network as part of a multi-year audio content partnership with WWE.
In addition, existing WWE audio programming will become available exclusively on Spotify starting later in 2021.
As part of the pact, The Ringer’s current feed for “The Masked Man Show” hosted by David Shoemaker and Kaz will be renamed “The Ringer Wrestling Show” and will continue on that feed, alongside new programming from WWE personalities. In addition, using Spotify Greenroom (the streamer’s Clubhouse-like app for live audio chats), the companies will launch live sessions after every major WWE pay-per-view event with the final rooms to be converted into podcasts for “The Ringer Wrestling Show”.
