Swagger’s tenure in the WWE really can’t be seen as a failure given he’s held multiple titles including the World Heavyweight Championship, ECW Championship and United State’s Championship. He’s also a former Money in the Bank winner which he later cashed in against Chris Jericho to capture the World Championship back in 2010.
