Rumors going around Twitter that Jim Johnston did not resign with the WWE today and was subsequently released. It appears the Uncaged iTunes projects will also be going away with him.
Several tweets mention it was Johnston leaving as opposed to being fired. Will update as info becomes available.

I hope Johnston requested this on his own. If WWE Just fired him, its pretty scummy to do that during the holidays

That BLOWS! Jim is a legend and his work will live on. Sucks we probably aren't ever getting anymore unreleased stuff though and now we'll only ever hear CFO$ bullcrap.

Please no.
But if it is true, he went out with a bang making Corbin's awesome theme.

I would guess he requested it just to be free. He’s probably winding down his career and wants to have the chance to just do whatever he feels like. I could see him still doing things with WWE but on like a freelance basis.

I guess that's what happens when you're not truly ready for Asuka!
Too soon?

That sucks. Jim's responsible for some of my - and I'm sure a lot of others - favourite entrance themes.

Jim Johnston was just as responsible for the best years of wrestling as nearly everyone else. There are so many signature themes that he's responsible for that helped guys like Austin, Taker, Rock, Triple H, etc get over when the jury was still out on them reaching stardom. No doubt he should be in the HOF.

He didn't even make anyone's themes anymore so what was he doing? He just did Corbin's and that's the most recent I can remember

He just did Corbin's and that's the most recent I can remember He didn't make much in the last few years but the Uncaged series was the big thing in the last year. After every Big 4 PPV it seemed, we got a new album of unreleased Jim Johnston tracks. Now we probably won't anymore.

This guy deserves the HOF without question. So many classics through the years.
CFO will never come close to making great themes like him.

So... WWE owns the rights to all the theme songs he produced over the last 2-3 decades? No rights issues involved, going forward?

He just did Corbin's and that's the most recent I can remember I read somewhere he was mostly doing music for WWE Films while CFO$ are doing the wrestlers entrance themes. Jim Johnston should be a WWE Hall of Famer and is the type of guy behind the scenes the Ultimate Warrior in his HOF speech wanted to be inducted in there.
