WWE has announced the launch of WWE Ahora, the company’s first Spanish-language podcast. The new program debuted on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, expanding WWE’s growing audio lineup at a particularly significant point on its international calendar.
The launch coincides with WWE beginning a week of live events across Latin America, including stops in Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina. It also arrives just ahead of AAA TripleMania 34, which will be presented across two nights for the first time since AAA came under the WWE umbrella.
WWE Ahora will be hosted by Eduardo Bates and Andrea Barzate. The stated mission for the podcast is to bring Spanish-speaking viewers closer to current news involving both WWE and AAA, while spotlighting major moments and leading performers from the two brands.
The addition gives WWE a dedicated Spanish-language platform at a time when its relationship with AAA is generating new crossover opportunities, especially for audiences in Mexico and throughout Latin America. Rather than simply serving as a translated extension of existing WWE programming, WWE Ahora has been positioned around coverage of the full WWE and AAA landscape.

Andrea Barzate Brings AAA Familiarity to WWE Ahora
Barzate enters the project with an established connection to AAA. She has become recognizable to fans through her work as an interviewer in the promotion and through her involvement in the El Grande Americano storyline. Her role on WWE Ahora provides a natural bridge between the two companies at a time when their biggest upcoming event is set to feature a major title match tied directly to that storyline.
Bates joins Barzate as the other host of the program. The debut episode was announced without a guest, indicating that the initial presentation may focus on the hosts setting the tone for the show and discussing the major developments currently taking place across WWE and AAA.
That timing leaves no shortage of subjects for the pair to address. WWE’s Latin American dates place the company directly in front of an audience that has long been vital to lucha libre and to WWE’s global reach. Meanwhile, TripleMania 34 is set to provide the first major two-night installment of AAA’s signature event under WWE’s ownership structure.
For WWE, the podcast represents another step in a wider effort to build out its audio content. The company has increasingly invested in podcasts over the last several years, including a 2025 partnership with Fanatics that led to the launch of multiple WWE-themed shows. WWE Ahora fills a clear gap in that collection by offering a program designed specifically for Spanish-speaking fans.
Latin American Tour Sets the Stage
The debut of WWE Ahora is closely aligned with WWE’s current trip through Latin America. The promotion is scheduled to run live events over the next week in Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina, making the launch more than a standalone media announcement.
A Spanish-language podcast can give WWE a direct vehicle to discuss the events, stars, and stories most relevant to fans following the tour. It also creates a consistent place for coverage that does not have to be limited to individual live event weekends or premium live event cycles.
The timing is especially notable because WWE Ahora is not being framed solely around WWE programming. Its focus includes AAA, whose role in WWE’s broader business has become increasingly important. The ability to cover developments from both brands in one dedicated Spanish-language format reflects the overlap that is now central to the relationship.
That overlap will be on display almost immediately at TripleMania 34. With WWE talent and stories connected to the event, WWE Ahora has a major headline topic available from its opening week. The show’s early episodes are likely to have plenty to examine as the two-night card unfolds across Las Vegas and Mexico City.
TripleMania 34 Headlines the First Week
AAA TripleMania 34 begins on Friday in Las Vegas, Nevada, before concluding on Sunday in Mexico City. The event will be held over two nights for the first time under WWE’s umbrella, with 12 matches scheduled across the combined cards.
The centerpiece of the weekend is El Grande Americano vs. Dominik Mysterio, with Mysterio’s AAA Mega Championship on the line. The match connects one of WWE and AAA’s most visible current story threads to AAA’s top championship, placing it at the forefront of the historic two-night event.
Barzate’s previous involvement in the El Grande Americano story gives WWE Ahora an especially relevant host for discussion of that matchup. As the program is intended to feature major moments and major names across both WWE and AAA, a championship bout involving Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano is an obvious early focal point.
The AAA Mega Championship match also underscores why the launch date matters. WWE Ahora is beginning not in a quiet period, but amid a concentrated stretch of activity: international live events, a major AAA weekend, and a title match that is directly linked to a prominent crossover storyline.
Whether the first episode contains a full preview of TripleMania 34 or is used primarily to introduce the format has not been detailed. No guest was announced for the debut installment. What is clear is that Bates and Barzate have an immediate news cycle to cover, with TripleMania’s first night arriving just two days after WWE Ahora’s launch.
A Dedicated Platform for Spanish-Speaking Fans
The arrival of WWE Ahora is a notable development because it gives Spanish-speaking audiences a designated podcast centered on their language rather than relying on scattered coverage across broader WWE channels. The stated goal of bringing fans closer to WWE and AAA news suggests the program will serve as an ongoing destination, not just a temporary tie-in for the Latin American tour or TripleMania weekend.
WWE has made podcasting a more visible part of its media strategy in recent years. The 2025 Fanatics partnership produced several WWE-focused podcast offerings, and WWE Ahora broadens that strategy by addressing a substantial audience with a distinct program and a hosting duo connected to the wrestling environment it will discuss.
The decision to include AAA in the show’s mission is equally important. AAA is not being treated as a side subject in the announcement. WWE Ahora is being introduced as a space for news, moments, and stars from both brands, which gives the show a potentially wide scope from the outset.
That approach is well suited to the current moment. A WWE audience following the company’s Latin American events may also have a strong interest in TripleMania 34. Conversely, AAA viewers tracking the Mega Championship scene and El Grande Americano’s story can now find Spanish-language discussion that places those events within the broader WWE and AAA picture.
What Comes Next for WWE Ahora
WWE has not announced a guest for the opening edition of WWE Ahora, nor has it detailed a regular release schedule. The first episode, however, launches with an obvious slate of topics: WWE’s live event run through Latin America, the impending two-night TripleMania 34 card, and the AAA Mega Championship main event between Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano.
The program’s longer-term identity will be shaped by how it balances current WWE headlines with AAA coverage. Its announced purpose indicates that both will remain at the heart of the format, with Bates and Barzate guiding fans through the latest developments and highlighting the performers and moments driving each brand.
For now, WWE Ahora begins during one of the busiest and most symbolically important weeks available for such a launch. WWE is on the road in Latin America. AAA’s biggest annual event is expanding to two nights. And the AAA Mega Championship is set to be contested in a match involving Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano.
With Eduardo Bates and Andrea Barzate at the microphones, WWE now has a dedicated Spanish-language podcast ready to cover all of it.
