Thunder Rosa is not expected to continue as one of the hosts of Busted Open once WWE Radio, WWE’s new official channel on SiriusXM, launches.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, people close to the situation believe the AEW wrestler will be left off the new lineup. Rosa also does not appear in any of the releases put out to announce the project.
The change takes place on July 27, when Pro Wrestling Nation 24/7 will be replaced by WWE Radio on channel 156. Busted Open will stay in its daily 9 a.m. to noon ET slot, but the announcement lists only Dave LaGreca, Bully Ray, Mark Henry and Nic Nemeth as hosts.
Rosa had been part of the show since May 2022, when she began appearing for an hour every Friday. Her appearances had already dropped off over the past several months. Per the WON, she took part only by phone on an episode this month that celebrated LaGreca’s birthday.
As mentioned on WON, Thunder Rosa is not expected to continue with Busted Open and SiriusXM after the WWE Sirius deal.

It's expected that they will not be covering AEW moving forward.

The deal marks a considerable shift in what the channel was built to be. When Pro Wrestling Nation 24/7 launched in July 2025, LaGreca pointed out that having no ties to WWE or AEW allowed the show to comment freely on both companies. Busted Open After Dark was also promoted as a place to break down the weekly shows from both.
WWE Radio will now carry WWE premium live events, audio versions of RAW, SmackDown and NXT, along with the podcasts of Cody Rhodes, The Undertaker and Stephanie McMahon.
Despite the report that AEW will no longer be covered, LaGreca said Busted Open’s critical tone will not change, while Bully Ray said the show will talk about other companies.
