No, this is not wrongful termination. The law only allows you to file a legal claim for wrongful termination if you can show that the termination was motivated by unlawful discrimination or unlawful retaliation. Discrimination is unlawful if it is based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, disability, age 40 or older or genetic information (such as a DNA test). Retaliation is unlawful if it is based on the employee engaging in a protected activity (workers compensation claim, FMLA usage, etc.). There is no wrongful termination claim based on the manager lying about the reason you were fired.
