10 People You Won't Believe Are Still Employed By WWE
6. Jack Swagger
Jack Swagger's feud with Rusev feels like an eternity ago. It was then that Swagger was last productive on WWE television. Since then, it has been a sturdy helping of Superstars matches and live event beatings for the Oklahoma native. A former world heavyweight champion, Swagger has been horribly misused for years now but none more frustrating for him and his fans than these last few months. The former collegiate wrestling star proved his worth as an in-ring competitor during the Rusev program, helping to carry the still young competitor to some quality bouts last summer. The conclusion of that story was followed shortly thereafter by the disappearance of Swagger from television. That his mouthpiece Zeb Colter stepped away to undergo surgery did not help his case. With so few appearances, especially on a show that fans actually watch, is it much of a surprise that Swagger's employment with WWE would be in question? No. Not being on television has led fans to question whether or not he still works there.
