NOT SO FAST! WWE STATEMENT ON JACK SWAGGER STATUS

While Jack Swagger has been announced for an international appearance later this month, he is not yet released by WWE.

WWE issued the following statement to PWInsider.com this afternoon:

“Jack Swagger has not been granted a release from his WWE contract. When he is granted his release, Jack Swagger will remain under exclusive contract to WWE for 90 days and will be compensated accordingly during that period.”

The former WWE World champion announced earlier this week on Chael Sonnen's podcast that he had requested a release from the company, unhappy about the lack of opportunities he has been given of late. Swagger has not appeared on WWE TV since January.
