5 WWE Rumors from this week you need to know (February 25th, 2019)

#4: TJP's shocking release

TJP won the Cruiserweight Classic in 2016, but was released from the company last week.

When the WWE re-launched their Cruiserweight division in 2016, they needed someone special as their new champion.

After an incredible tournament, that special someone was TJP, who dazzled fans with his incredible charisma and unique offence.

Being the first Cruiserweight Champion of this new era was a huge deal for TJP, which is why it was all the more shocking that WWE parted ways with him last week.

TJP wasn't the only departure from the company last week, but definitely came as the most surprising.

According to the PW Insider, TJP did not request his release, unlike fellow releases Hideo Itami and Tye Dillinger.

Hopefully, the former Cruiserweight star will land on his feet elsewhere, perhaps in All Elite Wrestling, or even in Impact, where he is a former X-Division Champion.
