- As noted, former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann announced on Twitter that he will be retiring from pro wrestling after finishing up his current commitments. Swann was apparently frustrated over not being able to get booked by some independent wrestling promoters because of his domestic incident in mid-December with his wife, Vannarah Riggs, a.k.a Su Yung in Impact Wrestling. Swann was arrested and charged for false imprisonment/kidnapping and misdemeanor battery (touching or striking) for the incident. All charges against Swann were dropped in late January after prosecutors determined that there was insufficient evidence to move forward with the case.

F4WOnline.com reported over the weekend that Swann has pulled himself from all of his scheduled appearances, including his bookings during WrestleMania weekend. Riggs took to Twitter over the weekend to support her husband, as seen below. She wrote:

I support & love my husband @GottaGetSwann to the fullest & he is my heart Respect our privacy & show him all the love 4 love will heal all

I can admit I have demons and I am working on myself. Thank you for the support and love along the way. It has made me better like he did.
