From the moment Jack Swagger stepped foot in a WWE ring, it was apparent that the creative team saw something special in the former amateur wrestling champion out of Perry, Oklahoma. At six-foot, seven-inches tall and 260-pounds, Swagger was a physical specimen. His mat work was outstanding and he learned quickly. His matches with Matt Hardy over the ECW Championship in late 2008, early 2009 showed just how much potential Swagger had as an in-ring competitor. When he was drafted from ECW to Raw, it looked like he would be in store for a major push. That was not the case. Instead, he spent most of 2009 in the midcard, then endured a losing streak entering 2010's WrestleMania 26. At that event, the losing streak was suddenly forgotten and Swagger captured Money in the Bank, guaranteeing him a shot at either the WWE or World Heavyweight Championship at any time over the next year. Clearly impatient, he cashed in two days later at the SmackDown tapings, beating Chris Jericho to capture the World title less-than two full years into his WWE career. What looked to be the realization of a dream turned into a horrific nightmare. Swagger lost more than he won as champion, was involved in an ice cold feud with Big Show and lost the title just two months after winning it. The entire main event push was a major blunder on the part of the creative team, who could never quite find it within themselves to put Swagger over any legitimate main event star. Outside of Randy Orton, who loses far more to young talent than he gets credit for. Swagger would spend the next two years competing further down the card. He collected a United States Championship reign and was part of a fairly successful tag team with Dolph Ziggler but the days of the All-American American headlining pay-per-views appeared to be over. That is, until he returned in 2013 under the guidance of Zeb Colter and began racking up wins. At Elimination Chamber in February of that year, he defeated Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, Daniel Bryan, Kane and Mark Henry to earn a shot at the same World title he previously held. After a run-in with the police, something that can be blamed on no one but himself, Swagger entered WrestleMania 29 riding a wave of momentum but left a beaten man, succumbing to the same Cross Arm Breaker that champion Alberto Del Rio had defeated many a wrestler with. After a rematch at Extreme Rules the following month, Swagger once again found himself wallowing away in the midcard, losing to the likes of Santino Marella while many wondered if the talented Oklahoman would ever receive a main event run that was not pulled out from underneath him. The Real Americans team with Cesaro helped him regain a bit of a push. Now that the team has broken up and Cesaro has moved onto bigger and better things, Swagger finds himself in a familiar place. He has no real direction and the only thing saving him from joining the rest of the roster in the dark and dismal abyss of the WWE undercard is Colter.
