WWE Announces Release of TJP and Hideo Itami, Perkins and Itami React

WWE has announced that 205 Live Superstars TJ Perkins and Hideo Itami are no longer with the company.

Below are the short announcements issued this afternoon:

Hideo Itami released

WWE has come to terms on the release of Kenta Kobayashi (Hideo Itami).

TJP released

WWE has come to terms on the release of Theodore Perkins (TJP).

WWE did not wish Itami and Perkins the best in future endeavors. As noted, WWE announced the release of Tye Dillinger today and he was not wished the best either.

We noted back in late January that Itami had requested his release following the loss to Akira Tozawa on the January 29 edition of 205 Live. It was reported then that Itami was not happy with how he was being used in WWE.

Itami and TJP react with the following tweets:

Thanks again.
See you soon as KENTA #GO2SLEEP #GAMEOVER #BUSAIKUKNEE https://t.co/cCQRj2GsMK
