Now fending for himself away from the WWE bubble following over a decade in the promotion, Jack Swagger is able to reflect on his career there. During an interview with ClickOn Sports, the former World Champion revealed his one big regret: that being his decision not to tell WWE how much he was enjoying his tag team with Cesaro.

Dubbed the 'Real Americans' and using Zeb Colter as a manager, Swagger and Cesaro were put together in 2013. Only lasting around a year before being split around WrestleMania XXX, the pairing didn't reach the heights of WWE's Tag Team Titles. That's something Swagger was disappointed about, and he has misgivings about the split generally.

At the time, Jack chose not to stand up and tell company officials that he wanted to continue teaming with Cesaro. Due in small part to that lack of objection from either man, WWE ended their alliance and both Swagger and Cesaro went solo.
