Whether it's been Vickie Guerrero, Zeb Colter or even the aforementioned bald eagle mascot, Swagger has always worked better with a mouthpiece. He joined forces with the former SmackDown general manager in the summer of 2011 as she was scouting clients for her newly formed faction, already having recruited Dolph Ziggler. Instantly, Ziggler and Swagger found chemistry together. The dynamic duo delivered in the ring while Guerrero helped them elicit heat, so it was the perfect pairing. Sadly, their win-loss record wouldn't reflect that as they proceeded to come up short against Air Boom every shot they had at the WWE Tag Team Championship. By mid-2012, the team was holding back Ziggler, who was on the brink of super stardom. But instead of having Guerrero turn on the bleached-blonde Superstar, she sided with him and left Swagger in the dust. Ziggler desperately needed to break out on his own and Swagger could have continued to use her as a manager, but WWE thought otherwise. https://youtu.be/eYIC1lS3Bbg
