WWE alum drops huge bombshell on potential AEW and Tony Khan collaboration
A former WWE name recently broke his silence after being announced for a major AEW show. The star being discussed is Matt Camp.
The 39-year-old star was a part of the WWE media team from September 2019. He was a part of YouTube's show The Bump. The show would air every Wednesday where superstars were interviewed. After airing for more than three years, the show was discontinued in May 2023. However, the host was released from the promotion a few months before in February. He recently made a huge announcement.
AEW is about to start the annual Continental Classic tournament from this week's Dynamite. The company revealed the twelve stars who would be participating in it. Recently, the Jacksonville-based promotion announced that Matt Camp would host a major show, Inside the Continental Classic.
Recently, the former Bump host took to X/Twitter and claimed that he loved tournament wrestling and tagged AEW as he will be associated with the tournament. As of now, there have been no details provided whether the personality is signed to the AEW or not.
"Hello, @AEW. I love tournament wrestling. Let’s enjoy it together," he wrote.
Matt Camp reveals why he was released by WWE
Matt Camp was released from the Stamford-based promotion after more than three years with it. His role was primarily to host The Bump.
While speaking on The Wrestling Matt podcast, the 39-year-old star revealed that he was released from WWE as a 'cost-cutting measure'.
"I was told by Michael Cole [about my release] when that happened, and he was not the one who let me go. It was an HR representative; I was told it had nothing to do with anything I did; it was a cost-cutting measure, or whatever you want to call it; [we] are tightening the budget," Camp said.
The creative team led by Triple H has made quite some significant changes since taking over in the past couple of years. It will be interesting to see how this show by the former WWE personality works out in the coming days.
