Jack Swagger to Face Former WWE Champion in First Post-WWE Match

Following his WWE departure, Jack Swagger will be making his first post-WWE appearance for WAW in two weeks in Norwich, UK. Swagger will face former WWE World Champion and new TNA star Alberto Del Rio.

Swagger is also being advertised for the WAW TV tapings taking place next weekend, so it appears as if WWE has indeed granted Swagger his release, and he likely will not have a no-compete if he is appearing at TV tapings.

BREAKING NEWS: @RealJackSwagger will face @VivaDelRio in a #WrestlemaniaRematch at #WAWTV6 in Norwich next Saturday night at @EPICNorwich!
