It was previously announced by UK Independent promotion World Association of Wrestling (WAW) that Jack Swagger would be making his first post-WWE appearance this Saturday as part of their WAW TV tapings in Norwich, UK against Alberto Del Rio/El Patron.
WWE recently released a statement confirming that Swagger was in fact still contracted to the company and had not been granted his release.
In a final twist Swagger has now been pulled from this weekend’s tapings and has been replaced by former WWE star Chris Masters.
UPDATE: After 3 days of discussions @RealJackSwagger will not be appearing this weekend but will appear later in the year. 1/2 #WATV6
