Rich Swann is currently working with TNA under a per-appearance agreement

According to a new report from Fightful Select, Rich Swann is currently working for TNA Wrestling under a per-appearance deal, and not with a long-term contract like other talents in the company.

The outlet recalls that last spring it reported that Swann's contract with TNA had quietly expired, although both parties remained on good terms. Shortly after, the former world champion returned to the company and joined the First Cla$$ group, led by AJ Francis and where he replaced KC Navarro.

It has recently been reported that many TNA wrestlers have short-term contracts. However, we can confirm that Rich Swann is not among them. TNA sources have confirmed that he is currently working on a per-appearance basis, just like other wrestlers.

In recent weeks, it has been revealed that several TNA wrestlers operate under short-term agreements, although company sources confirmed that Swann is not part of that group and that his arrangement is entirely based on appearances. This arrangement allows him greater flexibility without a fixed contractual commitment.

Fightful also revealed that they are preparing a general update on the contractual situation of more TNA wrestlers in the coming weeks.

It is worth noting that Rich Swann was suspended by the company in late August 2024 after being involved in an incident on June 8, which resulted in his arrest for disorderly conduct. Following the incident, the company decided to enroll him in a rehabilitation program.

Later on, Swann appeared in court and pleaded "no contest" (a legal term that implies neither admitting nor denying the charges) to charges of disorderly public intoxication and causing a disturbance. As a result, he was found guilty, fined $203, and sentenced to six months of probation. Additionally, he was imposed an additional fee of $285.38.
