At the beginning of this year, Rich Swann was declared innocent of his charges of domestic violence, which had caused an indefinite suspension by WWE. And although it was believed that the wrestler would return to the company, he was released from his contract in February.
Rich Swann will wrestle in The Crash
The wrestler wasted no time scheduling his next appearances, announcing his presence in several independent shows including The Big Event 14 on March 10. However, today, Swann left his followers perplexed by announcing his retirement from the ring.
"After all the bookings I've taken, I'm so scared to step in the ring but I can't wait lol. But after they're done, I will be retiring. Thank you for taking a chance on my name."
"Damn, I lost the dream job. Well even though I'm gonna be blown up as fuck, I can't wait to wrestle again."
"Swann, 27, began his career in 2009, wrestling for companies like EVOLVE, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, Combat Zone Wrestling, Dragon Gate or Dragon Gate USA, before his arrival in WWE in 2016, where he was one of the participants in the Cruiserweight Classic tournament."
