Scott Fishman of the Miami Herald is reporting via his Twitter page that WWE announcer Josh Mathews has been released by the company. As of this posting, neither WWE nor Mathews have commented.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO



I love Josh!!

Apparently its legit as he was trending and everyone was saying how dumb it was to release him

Rumour is he's backstage at the TNA NYC tapings... :\

I wonder who BORKKKKKKKKKK LEZNARRRRRRRRRR will beat up now during interviews?

Good. Just keep Renee Young

Josh Matthews was apparently a byproduct of WWE's recent budget cuts, reports F4WOnline.com. There was no particular incident or wrongdoing that led to his release, but rather Matthews was simply at the bottom of the list of announcers.

It's also said that Matthews' release came as a surprise to many within the company.

Teddy Long has also been released
