TJ Perkins is trying to get his hands on the Cruiserweight Championship once again, and he recently changed his name to TJP. The abbreviated name works well for the cruiserweight star, but recently there have been some strange rumors making the rounds in regards to the name change.

It’s been rumored that TJ’s name was changed because Vince McMahon hates the restaurant Perkins, and he thinks that if people hear the name Perkins they will think of the restaurant.

A fan recently asked TJP about the rumor, and according to the former Cruiserweight Champion, he simply wanted to change his name.

On this week’s episode of Still Real Radio, we’re talking to former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger about what’s next for his wrestling career, possibly going to Impact Wrestling, winning the World Title and more.
