Due to this altercation, WWE issued a statement that announced the indefinite suspension of Swann. Swann was released from the prison under certain conditions. However, according to the Wrestling Observer, Swann is not expected to return to WWE.

The 26-year-old became very popular during his time in the indies, namely for competing for promotions such as CZW, EVOLVE, and PWG. His superb showing in the Cruiserweight Classic landed him a full-time spot on the roster, and he would defeat Brian Kendrick to become Cruiserweight Champion on the premier episode of 205 Live.
