For those who don’t know, Swann was arrested early morning on December 10th over the charges of Kidnapping and False Imprisonment as well as Battery (touching or strike).
According to the report released by Gainesville Police, Swann got into an argument with his wife and professional wrestler Su Yung while traveling home from an indie wrestling show.
The argument got heated and Yung tried to get away from the car they were traveling in, but according to the report, Swann put her ‘into a headlock’ and pushed her back into the vehicle.
Per a witness, the indie wrestling star was scared the whole time and she yelled for help as they drove away. Although Swann has claimed that he didn’t physically touch her.
Prior to this incident, Rich Swann was scheduled to face Drew Gulak in a #1 contenders match for the Cruiserweight Championship at the upcoming episode of Monday Night Raw.
However, this match is pretty much confirmed to be nixed as Swann is currently under arrest and is expected to appear in court at the same day and now there are questions about his future with the company.
