Su Yung Comments On Rich Swann, First Impact Wrestling Vs. Lucha Underground Match Announced, MLW
- The first match has been announced for the upcoming Impact Wrestling vs. Lucha Underground event during WrestleMania weekend in New Orleans, LA. IMPACT Wrestling talent will face off against the stars of Lucha Underground on Friday, April 6, starting at 9:00 p.m. CT for WrestleCon at The Sugar Mill (1021 Convention Center Blvd.). Impact Wrestling revealed today that Dezmond Xavier, Andrew Everett & DJZ of Impact will battle the Lucha Underground trio of Drago, Aero Star and King Cuerno.
The event will stream live exclusively on IMPACT Wrestling's Twitch channel, which will feature over 10 hours of original daily content for three days that weekend, including exclusive podcasts and behind-the-scenes footage.
- Tickets went on sale this morning at MLWTickets.com for Major League Wrestling's next event, MLW: The World Championship Finals. The MLW World Heavyweight Champion will be crowned as tournament finalists Matt Riddle and Shane "Swerve" Strickland clash in Orlando on April 12th at Gilt Nightclub. Ticket prices range from $15-$45 with a limited number of "VIP Packages" also available.
- As noted, former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann announced on Twitter that he will be retiring from pro wrestling after finishing up his current commitments. Swann was apparently frustrated over not being able to get booked by some independent wrestling promoters because of his domestic incident in mid-December with his wife, Vannarah Riggs, a.k.a Su Yung in Impact Wrestling. Swann was arrested and charged for false imprisonment/kidnapping and misdemeanor battery (touching or striking) for the incident. All charges against Swann were dropped in late January after prosecutors determined that there was insufficient evidence to move forward with the case.
F4WOnline.com reported over the weekend that Swann has pulled himself from all of his scheduled appearances, including his bookings during WrestleMania weekend. Riggs took to Twitter over the weekend to support her husband, as seen below. She wrote:
