WWE After The Bell podcast set to end soon - Report
The well-known WWE podcast, After The Bell, reportedly posted its final episode earlier this month. According to a new report, the widely acclaimed show has come to an end.
According to Fightful Select, WWE has ended the podcast, with the show's November 10 episode seemingly serving as its unofficial final episode.
In 2019, WWE announced that commentator Corey Graves would host its first company-sponsored podcast, After The Bell. The show provided a solid mix of kayfabe and realism, where superstars from the past and present came to discuss stories and the current state of the business. In October 2022, fellow on-air talent Kevin Patrick joined as the show's official co-host.
Since its inception, the show has produced over 200 episodes and sports a 4.8 rating on Apple Podcasts. Guests have included some of the biggest superstars in the company, including Hall of Famers and current champions.
The latest episode featured Bobby Lashley, with Wade Barrett filling in for Graves. During the show's intro, co-host Kevin Patrick stated that Graves was "spending time with his beautiful wife and family."
As per the Fightful Select report, it's unclear whether ending the show was pre-planned or because Corey Graves recently became a father with his wife, former SmackDown Women's Champion Carmella.
