Famous and beloved hosts leaving popular WWE segments is a sad day in wrestling. While many stay in the company, their absence from that piece of programming leaves an unfillable gap. One such show is WWE’s The Bump with Kayla Braxton. The fans love the show, and it won’t be the same moving forward.
The show gained popularity with a stacked line of guests and some hard-hitting questions for them. However, the departure of one member seems to have proved the Roman Reigns right.

During the video message, Heyman also claimed that it was an honor to work with Braxton and that WWE’s The Bump would not be the same without her. However, once the cameraman signaled the filming ended, Heyman changed his words. In typical Heyman fashion, with a smug smile, he said that now that she is off the show, he may finally watch it. He continued to say that Braxton was in love with him as he was ‘The Wiseman.’ This brought a smile to Braxton, who asked why couldn’t Heyman stop after he praised her.
