Jack Swagger had a good time in WWE during the initial part of his career. Swagger was given a massive push early on, making his ECW debut in September 2008, and it took him only a few months to become the ECW Champion.

In 2010, the WWE Superstar won the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania XXVI and earned himself a WWE World Championship contract. In April 2010, Swagger cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to defeat Chris Jericho for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

The Superstar held the title for 79 days before he lost it to Rey Mysterio. Swagger’s reign as the World Heavyweight Champion wasn’t too long or memorable, even though he tried to fine-tune his character.

The creatives gave Swagger a chance too early in his career and it could be said he wasn’t able to impress as much as they would have expected.

It took Swagger some time to find himself in the wrestling industry, but his career has been a successful one. He currently resides in AEW.
