Rich Swann Update: All Charges Dropped

All charges against former WWE cruiserweight champion, Rich Swann, in regards to a December 10th incident have been dropped.

He had been charged with misdemeanor battery and false imprisonment/kidnapping stemming from an altercation with his girlfriend, Vannarah Riggs, who wrestles under the name Su Young.

According to a report from PWInsider, charges against Swann have been dropped due to insufficient evidence.

Triple H and Stephanie told reporters earlier that due to the company’s zero-tolerance policy on domestic violence he would be released if convicted.

“We are just waiting on legal.” Triple H said. “We have a zero-tolerance policy on that, as you’ve seen, so he’s suspended until it is determined legally one way or the other.”

It remains to be seen how WWE chooses to proceed with Swann now that charges have been dropped.

WWE did reinstate Jerry Lawler in 2016 after domestic violence charges were dropped against him.
