The domestic violence charges against Rich Swann have been dropped with prosecutors determining that there is “insufficient evidence” to move forward. The belief is that Swann will be reinstated now that the charges have been dismissed.

We will keep you informed if anything changes regarding Swann’s status with the company.

During Sunday’s installment of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez discussed Rich Swann’s match being pulled from tonight’s episode of RAW because of his arrest over the weekend.

Bryan Alvarez reports that they are trying to get Hideo Itami to debut on tonight’s RAW as the replacement for Swann on the show. Alvarez said if they are unable to get him in for the show, they will probably just do a multi-person match to determine the new challenger for Enzo Amore’s Cruiserweight Championship.

We will keep you updated if WWE makes an official announcement.

The post Rich Swann Suspended from WWE appeared first on Wrestling News & WWE News, Rumors & Spoilers.

As reported earlier today, 205 Live Superstar Rich Swann was arrested early this morning at 12:09 AM in Gainesville, Florida and charged with Kidnapping/False imprisonment.

In an update, the Gainesville Police Department has released the report on the arrest and revealed that the victim in the case was Swann’s wife and fellow wrestler Su Yung.

(Note: Vic is Victim and Def is Defendant)

“On the above date and time at the above location the Vic and Def were engaged in an argument. Both the Vic and Def are professional wrestlers and the Vic had just put on a show at 8 seconds in downtown Gainesville. The Def was critiquing the Vic’s performance and began getting angry with her. The Vic got scared that the argument was going to escalate and got out of the car in the area of 2400 SE Hawthorne Rd. The Def stopped his vehicle in the middle of traffic and the Vic jumped out. The Def gave chase and yelled for the Vic to get back in the car. The Vic told the Def she did not want to get back in the car as she continued to walk away. The Def then grabbed the Vic by her arm and then around her neck with his arm. He placed her in a headlock and dragged her back to their vehicle. The Vic screamed for help as the Def pushed her in the car.

Wit 1 observed this happen and called LEA. Wit 1 said that she saw the Def chase after the Vic and put her in a headlock and shove her back in the car while she screamed for help. Wit 1 said that the Vic was beating on the window screaming for help as they drove away again. Wit 1 said that the Vic seemed very afraid of the Def and was trying to get away from him.

Wit.2 observed the vehicle driven by the Def driving erratically in the area of 1500 E University Ave. Wit 2 saw the Vic jump out of the vehicle while it was moving and run away. Wit 2 saw the Def get out of the car while it was still moving and chase after the Vic. The car was not in park and continued to roll until it hit a telephone pole on the corner of NE 15th St and E University Ave.

The Vic stated that she was afraid of the Def because he has a temper sometimes. She said she was trying to get away from him because she was scared that their argument would escalate into physical violence. The Vic said that the Def grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back into the car even though she did not want to go with him. The Vic said she told the Def to pull over so she could get out but he refused to do so and she ended up jumping out while the vehicle was still (slowly) moving.

Post Miranda the Def stated that he did not grab the Vic and put her in the car. The Def stated that she got in the car on her own and he never physically touched her. The Def said he was just trying to get home and she had the phone with the GPS on it so he needed her to come with him.

The Vic and Def have been in a relationship for approx 5 years and have been married for 9 months.”

Welcome to the fastest hour on television, 205 Live!

Tonight’s 205 Live is set to feature a birthday celebration for the former Cruiserweight Champion, Kalisto! It seems unlikely the celebration will go undisturbed by the current Champion, Enzo Amore.

Beyond that, Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann will reportedly respond to Jack Gallagher and Brian Kendrick as this rivalry continues on. Will they look for a peace treaty of sorts, or will they take the fight to the heels? Let us know your thoughts in the comments and on the Ringside Talk app. Enjoy the show!

As seen at Sunday’s WWE Battleground event, Nakamura won his match against Baron Corbin via disqualification when he was nailed in the crotch by Corbin. PWInsider reports that a rematch is set to take place between the two at tonight’s SmackDown Live Event from Richmond, Virginia.

Speaking of tonight’s tapings, Neville will face Ariya Daivari and Cedric Alexander & Rich Swann will team together to take on the team of Tony Nese & TJP.

Check back here at 8PM ET for our live play-by-play coverage of tonight’s event.

The post Several Matches Confirmed for Tonight’s SmackDown & 205 Live Tapings appeared first on Wrestling News & WWE News, Rumors & Spoilers.

Welcome to the fastest hour on television, 205 Live!

Tonight’s show features the Cruiserweight Champion, King Neville in action in the main event! Neville faces Ariya Daivari, a man who has made a name for himself recently by destroying Akira Tozawa. Last night, Daivari attacked Tozawa again but this time, he also took the fight to Neville! The audacity! Daivari clearly believes he is on the Neville level and tonight he has a chance to prove it. I could easily see a scenario in which Tozawa interferes tonight and we end up with a Triple Threat at SummerSlam, although that might leave us with too many multi-man matches at the summer showcase.

Also on tonight’s 205 Live, TJP and Rich Swann continue their seemingly friendly battle for supremacy as they partake in tag team action, albeit on separate teams. TJP teams with Tony Nese tonight to take on Rich Swann and Cedric Alexander, in which should be a great match.

I’d also expect to see Noam Dar, Mustafa Ali, Drew Gulak, Brian Kendrick and Jack Gallagher on tonight’s show. Let us know what you’re excited to see, or not excited to see, on the free Ringside Talk app and remember to enjoy the show!

Welcome to the fastest hour on television, 205 Live!

Two nights ago at WWE Extreme Rules Neville battled Austin Aries in a submission match and retained his Cruiserweight Championship. That marked the third time Neville bested Aries and the end of their series. Last night on Raw, TJP asked Neville to hold his end of the bargain and give him a title shot. Neville spoke to Kurt Angle about it, then attacked TJP before telling him he had his shot.

So, on tonight’s show, TJP gets a shot at Neville’s Cruiserweight Championship in what is sure to be a great match and take up the majority of the program. We may also hear from Austin Aries, who is in need of a new direction after losing again.

Also on tonight’s show, will Akira Tozawa join The Titus Brand? And is the drama between Rich Swann and Noam Dar really finished.
