WWE Denies That Jack Swagger Has Been Released

Those of you looking forward to seeing "Swaggy Jack America" show up in the Impact Zone anytime soon are going to need to hold your horses.

As we reported on Wednesday, former WWE Champion, Jack Swagger told Chael Sonnen that he had been granted his release from the WWE, but noted it was an ongoing process.

Today, WrestlingNews.co is reporting that Swagger has actually yet to be relieved of his duties.

WWE issued the following statement:

"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."

There's no word on what the hold up is on his release from the company, but we're at least three months away from seeing him work for a rival promotion like Impact Wrestling or Ring of Honor.

Considering we haven't seen him in much longer than 90 days on WWE TV, we'll be pretty used to his absence.

We'll give you more on this story as it develops.
