In case you didn’t know…

Rich Swann was recently arrested on allegations of battery and false imprisonment (adult), for an alleged crime he committed against his wife, indie wrestler Su Yung (real name—Vannarah Riggs).

Swann was immediately suspended by the WWE, was arrested, and has now been released from the Alachua County Jail in Gainesville, Florida.

The heart of the matter

Matt Morgan presently serves as a City Commissioner of Longwood District 4 and was interviewed by the mainstream media outlet on the unfortunate situation surrounding Rich Swann and Su Yung. Morgan, a former WWE and TNA star himself; stated—

"A lot of these times when you see these types of situations when one of these guys get arrested for anything kind of violent, I'm always very surprised by it, because, even though that's what we do as entertainment, it's the complete opposite of the spectrum as to how were are in real life."

Furthermore, Morgan continued that he met Swann back in the day when the latter started out as an enhancement talent; elucidating that the Cruiserweight performer was always really talented and athletic. Additionally, ‘The Blueprint’ added that its’ a real shame that Swann has anything to do with this. Morgan also advised the young boy watching the interview at home, that it’s wrong to put his hands on a woman or any person for that matter.

What’s next?

Rich Swann has been suspended by the WWE, and should the allegations against him be proven in court, his WWE contract will be terminated.

Local law enforcement agencies are currently investigating the allegations against Swann. Sportskeeda will keep fans updated on this story as and when it develops.

Author’s take

The Rich Swann fiasco is disappointing, to say the least. Nevertheless, what fans or anyone in general, needs to understand is that should the allegations against Swann be proven in court, the man ought to pay for his actions, instead of this matter being hushed up.

It’d be wrong to blame Swann right now, as the battery allegations are yet to be proven in court, however, here’s hoping that irrespective of whoever’s in the wrong here, justice is served.
