TJP was among the several superstars who were released from WWE today. His release came as a surprise for many as he had just recently stated in an interview that he wanted to work with WWE forever. Apparently, the reason for his release might have something to do with the new tattoos he got in recent months.
According to a report by Bodyslam.net, TJP was blindsided by his release, though there were a few reasons for it.
His release might have been due to the fact that he got new tattoos without permission. The new tattoos can cause issues in terms of marketing for action figures and video game rendering. This is what caused some backstage heat on TJP, which lead WWE to release him.
The report goes on to say that TJP had historically been difficult to work with backstage in WWE. This includes creating a few problems with other wrestlers and people in management above him in WWE.
It is also reported that TJP was lobbying for more time on television as late as last week. Of course, he was not granted that.
