8 Wrestlers That Could Benefit From A Run In WWE NXT

3. Jack Swagger

Jack Swagger is a man who should be a bigger star than he is. Some of that is WWE's fault, but his 2013 arrest certainly didn't help matters. I was in Las Vegas when Swagger won the World Heavyweight title from Chris Jericho in 2010, and the reason it didn't work wasn't a reflection on Swagger's abilities, but the fact that he was presented like a jobber for six months then suddenly won Money In The Bank and then the World Title within a week. That's erratic booking and makes suspension of disbelief impossible. His pairing with Zeb Colter and Cesaro, however, was great and they all benefited from working with each other. Since the break up with Zeb, Swagger has been used as the patriotic American against Rusev and Del Rio, only to be tossed aside again once he's helped the foreigners get over. While most other stars in this list need to go down to NXT to revamp their character, all Swagger needs is a change of scenery. On NXT, he'd be able to tweak his character and try new things out that could help him when he gets back to the main roster. That and I want to see Swagger and Chad Gable face off over who's the more All-American American.
