WWE announced today that they have officially released Jack Swagger.
WWE has come to terms on the release of Jack Swagger. WWE wishes Swagger the best in all his future endeavors.
It was mentioned earlier this month that Swagger asked for his release, saying on a podcast that WWE “didn’t value me at what I thought I was valued at.”
Swagger was then booked for a show in the UK against Alberto Del Rio but WWE later announced that Swagger had not been officially released yet and once he was released, he could not compete elsewhere for 90 days.
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.
