Matt Camp released last week

Matt Camp, who had been with WWE for a number of years hosting The Bump as well as a lot of other content, was released last week, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources.

The reaction to Camp's release has been something of a shock among a number of people in the company we spoke with over the last several days as PWInsider.com worked to confirm the story. There's been no real explanation as to why he was cut and the company hasn't made any statements internally, we are told.

Camp had been with the company from September 2019 on and during his tenure, never missed one episode of WWE's Wednesday talk show The Bump once it was launched until last week, as it went on the air after he was quietly released. There was no mention of Camp's departure last week at all, nor any reference to him missing the show.

Beyond the Bump, Camp appeared on up to four shows a week for WWE including Raw Talk and Smackdown Lowdown on the WWE Network and Peacock, was a regular on the PPV Kickoff Shows, most recently the WWE NXT Vengeance Day Kickoff and lots of WWE Network compilation specials. He was absolutely seen as a reliable, no drama workhorse for the company and someone that was knowledgeable about the product, able to speak about the history off the top of his head and nail it factually every time.

Before joining WWE, Camp was the lead announcer for Tommy Dreamer's House of Hardcore promotion, was a regular on SiriusXM's Busted Open and was the lead Fantasy Football Analyst for WBD's Bleacher Report.

There is no word on what Camp’s next move may be as of this writing.​

I didn't much care when he did commentary those few times, but he was solid at that Bump role and I assume that crew does other things at Stamford too, otherwise I always thought it was kinda weird they needed that many for what the show was considering there's always lots of guests

I thought he was solid at what he did where I saw him. I remember him hosting those Best Of compilations on the Network/Peacock as well.

First thing I thought too when I saw it was they're gonna be cutting back on these people who just seem to appear on the 'extra' shows and pre-show panels etc.

Wonder if any legends contracts end too, that was a big thing when Endeavor first bought UFC

Guess will it all depend on the salary I suppose since they just did that deal to get Brian Pillman merchandise etc

This one is puzzling in my world meaning head. Matt was the reason why I started to enjoy The Bump. He was entertaining at what he did on there. This is a huge bummer and no one can ever replace him. I hope he does well wherever he lands next.

What he do?

Biggest difference is WWE legends move merch like figures etc, UFC figures are as in demand as cement pillows
