In an update on the charges being dropped against WWE RAW and WWE 205 Live superstar Rich Swann due to a lack of evidence, Swann’s lawyer Ian Pickens released the following statement, while noting that he hopes that the WWE will lift Swann’s current suspension and have him return to television in the near future.

“We are very pleased with the resolution of these charges. We would like to thank the State Attorney’s Office for conducting a thorough investigation, as well as Mr. Swann’s family, friends, and fans that supported him through this.

During our representation of Mr. Swann, we have come to know him as a kind and humble young man, who we believe has a bright future ahead of him. We are hopeful that with the dismissal of these charges Mr. Swann will be able to return to the WWE and our firm will do everything we can to assist him in returning to the ring. Thank you.”
