Thunder Rosa Reportedly Believed To Be Done With Busted Open Radio Amid WWE’s Deal with SiriusXM for WWE Radio Channel Switch [Update: Rosa Confirms Departure from Busted Open Radio]

Update:

Rosa confirmed earlier today on Twitter that she has departed from Busted Open Radio.

“After four unforgettable years, it’s time to turn the page.

Some chapters in life change you forever, and this has been one of them.

Being part of Busted Open has been so much more than sitting behind a microphone. It gave me the opportunity to share my perspective, connect with wrestling fans around the world, and celebrate the sport that has given me so much.

I’m especially grateful to Tony Khan for believing in me, trusting me to represent AEW, and allowing me to contribute my voice to one of the most respected wrestling shows in our industry.

To Dave LaGreca, Tommy Dreamer, Bully Ray, Mark Henry, the producers, and everyone behind the scenes: thank you for welcoming me, challenging me, inspiring me, and making me feel like family. Every conversation made me better, and every show reminded me why I love this business.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who listened, watched, commented, and supported me throughout these four years. Whether you agreed with me or challenged my perspective, you became part of this journey, and I’ll always be grateful for that.

While this chapter comes to an end, my journey continues. I’m excited for what’s ahead, and I can’t wait to keep sharing my passion for professional wrestling with all of you.

The microphone may be off for now, but my voice isn’t going anywhere.

This isn’t goodbye. It’s simply the beginning of a new chapter.

I’ll see you all very soon.”

As noted before, WWE announced on Thursday that they recently signed a new partnership deal with SiriusXM for the launch of a new WWE Radio channel on July 27 on the service. This new radio channel will be replacing the existing Pro Wrestling Nation 24/7 channel, which features Busted Open Radio and several other wrestling-related podcast and radio shows.

Dave Meltzer reported in this week’s Wrestling Observer Radio that his sources close to the situation stated that AEW talent and co-host Thunder Rosa is currently not expected to be returning to Busted Open Radio amid its switch to the WWE Radio channel.

Meltzer reported that Rosa’s name was not listed in any of the press releases for WWE’s new deal with SiriusXM and the upcoming launch of WWE Radio.

Meltzer also speculated that due to Busted Open Radio now becoming a WWE controlled show, it would likely be impossible for the show to keep an AEW talent on it.
