Swann was suspended and later released by WWE back in February after he was arrested for a domestic violence issue involving his wife, wrestler Su Yung. The charges were eventually dropped due to insufficient evidence. Swann announced he was stepping away from wrestling, but that retirement was short lived. He was back in the ring within a matter of weeks.

He made his Impact Wrestling debut on June 21th, when he defeated Trevor Lee. Since then, Swann has wrestled a number of matches for the company.

This announcement makes it seem like the company officials are currently focusing on signing talents to lengthy contracts as Rich Swann is not the first talent to be bound by a long-term contract in recent times.

In June, the company announced that former Mae Young Classic competitor Tessa Blanchard has signed a long term deal with the promotion.

Veteran Impact star Abyss also signed a new deal with Impact, according to PWInsider
