His mother died when he was 16,[13] after which Swann "fell in with a rough crowd" and began using cocaine.[11] However, after his supplier died of a heart attack, Swann, with help from his aunt, stopped using cocaine, got an apartment and finished high school.[11]

Professional wrestling career

Early career

Swann originally started training for professional wrestling at the age of 14 in 2005 under Adam Flash, Darren Wyse and Ray Alexander in York, Pennsylvania.[1] He made his debut in 2008,[9] working under the ring names Rich Money and El Negro Mysterio.[1] Swann's influences include Psicosis, Eddie Guerrero, Chavo Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Rob Van Dam, Jerry Lynn, Super Crazy and The Hardy Boyz.[14]

Combat Zone Wrestling (2009–2013)

In 2009, Swann began training under D. J. Hyde, Drew Gulak, Ruckus and Sabian at Combat Zone Wrestling's (CZW) training school and made his debut for the promotion on May 9, 2009, wrestling in a dark match, where he was defeated by Sabian.[1][9][15] Swann made his main card debut on June 13 with a win over Chris Halo.[16] On October 10, Swann entered a tournament to determine the inaugural CZW Wired TV Champion. After a win over Joe Gacy, he was eliminated by Adam Cole in his second round match on November 14.[17][18] On January 30, 2010, Swann formed the "Irish Driveby" tag team with Ryan McBride, defeating the Spanish Armada (Alex Colon and LJ Cruz) in their first match together.[19] After a win over the Switchblade Conspiracy (Joe Gacy and Sami Callihan) on February 13,[20] Swann and McBride were granted a shot at the CZW World Tag Team Championship on March 13, but were defeated by the Best Around (Bruce Maxwell and TJ Cannon).[21] Afterwards, Irish Driveby earned victories over teams like Notorious Inc.

After twice failing to qualify for the Best of the Best X tournament and unsuccessfully challenging Adam Cole for the CZW World Junior Heavyweight Championship,[29][30][31] Swann was looking to restart his CZW career, but on May 14, 2011, suffered another loss against Alex Colon.[32] After the match, Robbie Mireno, Ruckus and Chrissy Rivera entered the ring and announced they were reforming Blackout, before offering both Swann and Colon spots in the stable, which both accepted.[32][33] With his new partners, Swann formed a new, exciting and popular version of one of CZW's most accomplished groups.[34] After a six-month break from CZW, during which Swann supposedly represented Blackout in Japan,[33] Swann returned to the promotion on November 12, when he, Colon and Ruckus defeated Alex Payne, Joe Gacy and Ryan Slater in a six-man tag team match.[35] On January 14, 2012, Swann received another shot at the CZW World Junior Heavyweight Championship, but was unable to dethrone Sami Callihan.[36] During 2012, Swann began spending more and more time in Japan, resulting in his time with Blackout being short-lived as early in the year, Alex Colon and Chrissy Rivera quit Blackout to form the new 4Loco stable.[33][34] After another seven-month break from CZW, Swann returned to the promotion on August 11, losing to newcomer Shane Strickland in a singles match.[37] The two had a rematch on September 8, where Strickland was again victorious. After the match, Swann offered to shake Strickland's hand, but then laid him out with a spin kick.[38][39] On November 10, Swann first unsuccessfully challenged Masada for the CZW World Heavyweight Championship during an afternoon show and later in the evening, also failed to capture the CZW Wired TV Championship from A. R. Fox in a four-way match, which also included Lucky 13 and rival Shane Strickland.[40] Swann and Strickland had their third singles match against each other on December 8 at Cage of Death XIV, where Swann was able to pick up his first win over the newcomer.[41][42][43] Swann received another shot at the CZW Wired TV Championship on February 9, 2013, at CZW's fourteenth anniversary show, but was again defeated by A. R. Fox.[44]

On the same episode, Scott D'Amore announced a unification match for the Impact World Championship and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship between Moose and Swann for Sacrifice and the winner would face AEW World Champion Kenny Omega at Rebellion in a title vs title match.[176][177] At Sacrifice, Swann defeated Moose to unify the Impact World Championship and the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.[178] At Rebellion, Omega defeated Swann, ending his reign as Impact World Champion.[179]

Championship reign and pursuits (2021–present)

At Under Siege, Swann returned to save Willie Mack from getting beat down by W. Morrissey.[180] He went on to face Morrissey at Against All Odds in a losing effort.[181] Swann reteamed with Mack to go after the Impact World Tag Team Championship, but failed to get them from The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson) in multi team matches at Slammiversary and Emergence, and a regular tag team match at Victory Road.[182][183][184] At Bound for Glory, Swann competed in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet match, where the winner could choose any championship match of their choice, but was eliminated by eventual winner Moose and W. Morrisey.[185] At Turning Point, Swann defeated VSK.[186] On January 8, 2022, at Hard To Kill, Swann took part in a 10-man Hardcore War against The Good Brothers and Violent By Design in a winning effort.[187] At No Surrender, he joined Team Impact in another 10-man tag team match against Honor No More, but failed to win after Eddie Edwards turned on them.[188] On the Countdown To Sacrifice pre-show, Swann teamed with Mack to defeat Honor No More's Matt Taven and Mike Bennett.[189] At Multiverse of Matches, he competed in an Ultimate X match for the X Division Championship, which was won by Trey Miguel.[190] At Rebellion, Swann and Mack failed to capture the Impact Tag Team Championship in an Eight-Team Elimination Challenge.[191]

On May 28, Swann defeated Matt Cardona at the Vegas Vacation event held by The Wrestling Revolver to win the Impact Digital Media Championship for the first time.[192] Afterwards, Cardona refused to give up the title, attacked Swann after the match, and made it off with the title belt.[193][194] On the June 9 episode of Impact!, Cardona appeared on a Zoom call with tag team partner Brian Myers, "relinquishing" the title to the latter after suffering a torn bicep.[195][196][197] Myers challenged Swann to a Digital Media Championship match at Slammiversary to determine the "real" champion,[198] where Swann defeated Myers to retain the title.[199][200] At Against All Odds, Swann lost the title to Myers in a Dot Combat match, ending his reign at 35 days.[201] On the August 18 episode of Impact!, Swann competed in a six-way elimination match to determine the number one contender to Josh Alexander's Impact World Championship at Bound for Glory, which was won by Eddie Edwards.[202] At Victory Road, Swann teamed with Heath and Alexander in a six-man tag match against Honor No More, which they lost.[203] At Bound for Glory, Swann competed in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet, eliminating Eric Young but was eliminated by Steve Maclin.[204] On the Countdown to Over Drive pre-show, Swann won a six-way match.[205]

On January 13, 2023, at Hard To Kill, Swann lost to Steve Maclin in a Falls Count Anywhere match.[206] On the January 26 episode of Impact!, Swann won the "Golden Six-Shooter" six-way elimination match to earn an Impact World Championship match against Josh Alexander at No Surrender.[207][208] At the event, Swann failed to beat Alexander for the title.[209] On March 24 at Sacrifice, Swann teamed with Steve Maclin and Frankie Kazarian losing to Time Machine (Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, and Kushida).[210] On May 26 at Under Siege, Swann teamed with Ohio Versus Everything (Sami Callihan and Jake Crist) defeating The Design (Deaner, Angels, and Kon) in a six-man tag team match.[211] On June 9 at Against All Odds, Swann competed in the 8-4-1 match to determine the number one contender for the Impact World Championship, which was won by Nick Aldis.[212]

Professional wrestling style and persona

Swann has formerly utilized a standing 450° splash as his finisher up to 2016, and currently uses a Phoenix splash from the middle or top rope.[213] During his tenure in WWE, Swann had almost been given the name Silk Morris.[214]

Other media

Swann made his first and only appearance as a playable character in the video game WWE 2K18.[215]

Personal life

Swann married his girlfriend of five years, Vannarah Riggs, a fellow professional wrestler better known as Su Yung, in March 2017.[152]

On December 10, 2017, Swann was arrested in Gainesville, Florida on charges of battery and kidnapping/false imprisonment.[216][217] The victim was identified as his wife. According to the arrest report, Swann and Riggs had gotten into an argument over Swann criticizing Riggs' performance at a show that night. When Riggs tried to get away from Swann, witnesses state that he grabbed her in a headlock and dragged her back into his car.[152][153] Swann was released from Alachua County Jail later that same day and told to get in contact with court services.[218] On January 25, 2018, all charges against Swann were dismissed, when a determination was made by prosecutors that there was "insufficient evidence" to move forward with the case.[219]

On December 30, 2021, Riggs announced that she was pregnant with the couple's first child.[220] Their son was born in February 2022.[221]

Championships and accomplishments

Swann is a former X Division Champion.
