“205 Live” Superstar Rich Swann was “suspended indefinitely” by WWE after being arrested in late 2017 on battery and kidnapping charges. On Tuesday, TheWrap asked Triple H — WWE’s executive vice president of Talent, Live Events and Creative — for an update on Swann’s employment status.
“We are just waiting on the legal,” the 14-time WWE Champion told us during the Television Critics Association press tour. “We have a zero tolerance policy on that, as you’ve well seen. So he’s suspended until it is determined legally one way or the other.”
“And if he’s convicted, he will be released,” Triple H’s wife and WWE’s Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon added, meaning that he will be dropped by the company.
