'We the People'

The OG's would surely remember this catchphrase. After a 13-year-old career in WWE, Swagger decided to move on from WWE to the Independent circuit. In 2018. he debuted in the Lucha Underground as a heel.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

He started this year by giving a huge surprise to everyone. Swagger declared that he is going to make his MMA debut at Bellator 214 on Jan 26th. He fought a match against JW Kiser, and he won the match via submission in the first round which was very impressive.

He has gained a lot of confidence, and he is declared that he is no CM Punk, but he is more of Brock Lesnar because the latter and Swagger are Division 1 wrestlers.


#1 CM Punk

The Pipebomb promo was historical

CM Punk is the most controversial wrestler in WWE, and there's no two say in that. His infamous pipe-bomb promo had caused a lot of troubles for the star as he broke the fourth wall and completely disregarded Vince McMahon.

However, he held the longest reigning World Champion tag for a very long time before Brock Lesnar destroyed it with his part-time champion nature. He joined UFC in 2014, and he fought two matches which ended disastrously. His UFC run is considered as a joke by many because he failed in both the matches in a pretty shameful manner.

His contract with UFC is not over yet. Currently, he is working with Cage Fury Fighting Championship (a UFC affiliate) as a commentator.

According to Dave Meltzer, he has received a call from the AEW regarding his return to the wrestling scene, but Punk is not interested anymore.

According to Ringside News, Meltzer says,

"CM Punk does not seem like he wants to do anything with pro wrestling. He has plenty of opportunities. I know he hates WWE and he has every right to after that lawsuit. That doesn't mean he should hate New Japan and AEW and all that.
"The reality is he's still under contract with UFC somehow even though they'll never use him again, but you know he doesn't seem to want to be around wrestling. If he doesn't, more power to him. If he wants to be around wrestling he can call them. They've already called him, I know that. He just doesn't want to be around wrestling."
