TNA Wrestling has now confirmed this, sharing its own announcement featuring some quotes from the Daily Star interview.

TNA Wrestling shared the following on its official site:

Former TNA World Champion Rich Swann has re-signed with TNA Wrestling, it was confirmed today, as first reported by the Daily Star newspaper.

Swann told the paper: “Ladies and gentlemen, your boy, Mr. All Night Long, Rich Swann, has re-signed with Total Nonstop Action, baby. Yes, indeedy.”

“I really believe in this company and I feel great. We’re killing it every Thursday night on AMC and TNA+. I’ve been a part of TNA since 2018… and to have this freaking spot, it just feels awesome.”

TNA Wrestling presents Lockdown on Sunday, August 23, from the Credit Union 1 Arena in downtown Chicago – with every match contested inside a steel cage. There are also two major live events coming to the Liacouras Center at Temple University in Philadelphia on Thursday & Friday, July 30-31.

Speaking of Lockdown, Rich told the Daily Star: “I’d love to be in that cage. I’d love to be in Lockdown. I’d love to be in Lethal Lockdown. I’d love to be in any type of stipulation.”

“There’s no better opportunity than being at the Credit Union 1 Arena to enter Rich Swann into the returning Lockdown. I will be going extreme all night long, baby.”

Fans can watch Rich Swann and all the TNA stars on Thursday Night iMPACT! every week on AMC and AMC+ (U.S.), Sportsnet 360 (Canada) and TNA+ (worldwide).

Following a run in WWE which saw him hold the company’s Cruiserweight Championship, Rich Swann made his TNA Wrestling debut in June 2018, with it later being announced that he had signed a multi-year deal with the company.

Swann has held several championships during his runs with the company, including the X-Division and Digital Media titles.

Swann is a former TNA World Champion, notably losing the gold in a Winner Takes All match against AEW World Champion Kenny Omega at Rebellion 2021, during AEW and TNA’s previous period of crossover.
