Rich Swann originally debuted in WWE as part of the NXT brand, but many fans remember this as part of the original Cruiserweight Classic back in 2016. Swann made it all the way through to the quarter-finals before being eliminated by eventual winner TJ Perkins.

The star then became part of WWE's Cruiserweight Division on Monday Night RAW and even lifted the Championship when he was able to defeat Brian Kendrick on the premiere episode of 205 Live.

Swann lost the Championship at the beginning of 2017 and was then scheduled to face Drew Gulak in a match to determine the new number 1 contender, to Neville's Championship but this match was canceled after Swann was suspended by WWE.

In December 2017, Swann was arrested on charges of battery and kidnapping/false imprisonment. The victim was identified as his wife and the couple had reportedly gotten into an argument following her performance at a show that night.

In January 2018, the case was dismissed due to "insufficient evidence" but merely weeks later on February 15th Swann and WWE mutually came to an agreement to terminate his contract.
