Cody Rhodes is taking his mic skills outside the ringliterally. WWE and Fanatics just announced a brand-new podcast starring the Undisputed WWE Champion himself, and its got a title only The American Nightmare could deliver: What Do You Wanna Talk About?
Set to debut later this month, the podcast will drop new episodes biweekly and be available on all major audio platforms as well as WWEs YouTube channel. The twist? Its sponsored by Wheatley American Vodka, with every episode featuring Rhodes and his guests sipping cocktails while diving into the kind of real talk you dont get on Raw or SmackDown.
What Do You Wanna Talk About? expands on the digital series Rhodes launched back in July 2024, where he hit the road in a Wheatley-branded tour bus and sat down with WWE stars like Randy Orton and Bianca Belair. Now, its being upgraded into a full-scale podcast as part of WWEs growing media lineup under its partnership with Fanatics.
Each episode promises behind-the-scenes stories, pivotal career moments, and one-on-one convos with current Superstars and Legends. In Codys own style, you can expect everything from deep emotional dives to straight-up locker room storiesall while sipping on Wheatley Vodka, the official vodka of WWE and produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery.
This move is part of WWEs larger push into podcasting. In March, Fanatics took over as producer and distributor for WWE podcasts, launching The Raw Recap Show with Megan Morant and Sam Roberts. Up next? A post-Premium Live Event show is already set to launch right after WrestleMania 41.
With WWE World also returning to Las Vegas from April 1721 during WrestleMania 41 week, the WWE-Fanatics juggernaut continues expanding in all directionsfrom merch and fan experiences to now boozy backstage convos with the champ.
