F4WOnline is reporting that Arn Anderson is no longer with WWE.
In a story first reported by Pro Wrestling Sheet, Anderson was let go after spending time with WWE for nearly 18 years, signing shortly after the closing of WCW in 2001.
No details are known at this time as to why Anderson was let go. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2012 with The Four Horsemen.
The company did sign a number of new backstage producers, something WWE profiled in a new video featuring Jeff Jarrett, Chris Parks (Abyss), Sonjay Dutt, Shawn Daivari and Shane “Hurricane” Helms. So it’s possible WWE decided to move in a new direction.
In items both reported over the last few weeks, WWE confirmed the releases of Hideo Itami and Tye Dillinger from the roster on Friday afternoon.Earlier this week, Dillinger issued a statement on Twitter announcing he had requested his release from the company after nearly six years with WWE.
In late January, news broke that Hideo Itami had also requested a release from WWE and would be granted it. An episode of #205Life profiled his final weeks in WWE.
After confirming the already public departures of Hideo Itami and Tye Dillinger earlier today, WWE announced the release of former Cruiserweight Champion TJP.
TJP, who won the Cruiserweight Classic back in 2016 and captured the vacant Cruiserweight Championship, signed with the company that same year. He remained an active member of the company’s weekly 205 Live program.
He previously spent time as part of the TNA roster (as Manik), along with working for EVOLVE, GFW, ROH, PWG, New Japan Pro Wrestling and various other promotions.
Just earlier this week, TJP had answered a tweet from a fan asking “how soon” we would see him with AEW. Perkins expressed zero interest in signing with the upstart wrestling promotion, although that could always change now that he is a free agent.
