WWE SmackDown Live's 5 biggest blunders since the Brand Split

Shockingly, James Ellsworth owns three victories versus AJ Styles

#1 Jack Swagger signs with SmackDown Live

Where art thou, Jack Swagger?

There was (and arguably still is) plenty of confusion at the dawn of the Brand Split regarding how and if Superstars could switch shows. That question was quickly answered when Jack Swagger revealed that his Raw contract “expired” in early September and proceeded to jump ship to SmackDown Live.

In his initial appearance on the blue brand, he cut a promo about feeling rejuvenated and how he had his sights set on Baron Corbin. If there was any place for Swagger to experience a career resurgence, it was on SmackDown Live, or so it seemed because he amounted to absolutely nothing after that.

At No Mercy, Corbin and Swagger contested a forgettable match that Swagger lost, and in their rematch, Swagger was beaten in under two minutes. He has not been in action on the show since then, and most fans have likely forgotten he ever signed with SmackDown to begin with.
