Jack Swagger seemingly had it all when it comes to building a WWE Superstar.

With a great look, amateur background and incredible physique, the All-American clearly ticked a lot of boxes.

Perhaps that is why in 2010, Swagger cashed in Money in the Bank on a prone Chris Jericho, taking the World Heavyweight Title from him, and developing a more serious tone.

Within just a few months though, Swagger's reign would come to an end at the hands of Rey Mysterio, and by the end of the year, the Oklahoma-native was barely seen.

As the years went on, Swagger would struggle to get any wins, and though he did have a brief push in early 2013, the Bellator star had very few wins under his belt in his final few years.
