It appears TNA Impact Wrestling star and former X Division Champion Manik (TJ Perkins) is no longer part of the roster due to the company releasing him.
Manik’s profile is now on the alumni section of ImpactWrestling.com, and Perkins responded to a number of questions on Twitter about it, saying that he’d still be with the company but the decision was not up to him. Perkins, who campaigned last year on social media using the “#AllWeWantIsTJP” hashtag to appear without a mask, had made sporadic appearances for TNA over the course of several years, including being a full-time roster member for the past two years.
I’m sorry. If it were up to me I wouldn’t. https://t.co/txpGwGVpbJ

Perkins also dispelled rumors about a reason for his release, noting he was just notified of his status, and was not told a particular reason.
Actually there was never an explanation given. Just the notice. https://t.co/rHElWrPCXq
