WWE operates with various integral components to ensure the smooth functioning of its vast entertainment machinery, and one crucial element is the array of shows it produces, including “The Bump.” Recently, there has been an unexpected turn of events as the company has reportedly severed ties with one of its longstanding hosts.
As per the latest report from PWInsider, Matt Camp, who had been a fixture at WWE for several years as the host of “The Bump” and various other content, was officially confirmed to have been released just last week. The news of Camp’s departure has sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling community, with many within the company expressing surprise at this unexpected turn of events. Despite the speculation surrounding his exit, no clear explanation has been provided, and WWE has yet to issue any official statements regarding the matter.
Camp had been an integral part of the WWE roster since September 2019, and throughout his tenure, he consistently held the hosting duties for every episode of WWE’s Wednesday talk show, “The Bump.” However, his departure was marked by an unusual silence, as there was no acknowledgment of Camp’s exit during the last week’s episode, and his absence was not mentioned.
Beyond “The Bump,” Camp was a prominent figure on up to four weekly shows for WWE, including “Raw Talk” and “Smackdown Lowdown” on the WWE Network and Peacock. He was a regular face on Premium Live Event Kickoff Shows, making his latest appearance on the WWE NXT Vengeance Day Kickoff. Additionally, Camp contributed to various WWE Network compilation specials.
Prior to joining WWE, Camp served as the lead announcer for Tommy Dreamer’s House of Hardcore promotion, contributed regularly to SiriusXM’s Busted Open, and held the position of lead Fantasy Football Analyst for WBD’s Bleacher Report. Despite his extensive background and contributions, Camp’s sudden release has left many in the industry perplexed.
As the wrestling community processes this unexpected turn of events, the question now looms over who will step in to fill the void left by Matt Camp. WWE has yet to reveal any plans for a replacement, leaving fans and colleagues curious about the future dynamics of “The Bump” and other shows that featured Camp’s prominent presence. Only time will unveil the next chapter in this unfolding story within the world of WWE.
