Rich Swann suspended by WWE

WWE has issued the following statement on Rich Swann, who was arrested on Sunday morning:

“WWE has zero tolerance for matters involving domestic violence, and per our policy, Rich Swann has been indefinitely suspended following his arrest.”

As we noted earlier, Swann was supposed to face Drew Gulak this week on Monday Night Raw in a number 1 contenders match for the right to face Cruiserweight Champion next week. The match with Gulak is obviously not going to happen. The charges on Swann have put a cloud over his WWE career.

If he is convicted then he could face jail time. Click here for details on his arrest.
