Rich Swann Booked for UK Super Indie Tournament

Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann has been confirmed for Southside Wrestling’s Speed King 2018 tournament. The announcement has been met with a mixed reaction from fans of the UK scene, following recent news surrounding Swann.

The former 205 Live Superstar was arrested back in December for a domestic incident that included charges of battery and kidnapping/false imprisonment. The company wished him “the best in all of his future endeavors” – but still decided to release him on his birthday (February 15th), the decision was “mutually agreed” by both parties. All charges have since been dropped and Swann reportedly is hopeful of a return to WWE down the road.

Swann is the final entrant into the UK Super Indie extravaganza and he joins the already announced roster of:

• Jay Lethal
• Sammy Guevara
• ‘Flash’ Morgan Webster
• Adam Brookes
• Robbie X
• DJZ
• Stevie Boy
• Sensa Volto
• Kip Sabian
• Cara Noir
• Ashley Dunn
