Who in the blue hell expected Swagger would be that over that quickly? I sure as hell didn't. We all knew that the crowd loved chanting "We The People" but who knew they would chant "Lets Go Swagger"?! I mean it was gold. Zeb Colter spoke the perfect promo for that situation and they waited until they got in the ring to talk which made the atmosphere different to what they usually do. It was serious and it had meaning. Swagger stood looking amped and ready to jump on Rusev at any minute. There was even a point where you could see how happy Swagger was to have the crowd roaring his name at him. Rusev backed Lana out of the ring and then Swagger and Rusev went at each other but within two arm drags it was over.
This was a great segment by WWE and the lack of in ring action was clever. They are teasing this match and just edging everything into place. Big E failed to give the Bulgarian who now hails from Russia his first loss but could Swagger be the guy to do it?
Personally I don't think he will be but I'd love to see Swagger be the guy to break the accolade for the first time. I think if Swagger is going to lose to Rusev (which without a shadow of a doubt he will) then I feel he needs to look strong even in lose because if not he will end up like Lex Luger did. Dead in the water. There needs to be something that Swagger can do so that he can put a feather in his cap even when he loses. Maybe he can be the first person to make Rusev so angry that he doesn't listen to Lana?
Jack and Zeb have been on a roll recently and I have been one of the first to say that Jack looked sloppy in the ring as of late but this is because we know he can be a fantastic worker. All jokes aside Jack should be high as hell right now because he just got the biggest pop of his career.
I feel like a face Swagger could be interesting especially since his ex-partner is currently a heel. This means we could see them cross paths again and get some more great matches.
Personally, right now, I'd love to see Swagger vs Rusev in a submission match but I don't see it being much help towards Swagger when he loses then as this would mean his finisher could look weak. Another option would be for them to go for an all out brawl and give Rusev his first gimmick match to work with.
Hopefully this feud gets really heated and really intense because both of these behemoths are just that. Intense. Swagger just drips intensity and times and Rusev pretty much snarls like a pitbull on steroids when he is really going for it. I really hope they don't drop the ball on this because Swagger will either look great or weak as hell.
If WWE really want to push the boat out on this one they should have Swagger and Zeb rally troops for an American revolution. It would get a face pop while still being very close to the knife so to say. I don't mean like the Lex Express but they should put out videos like they did when they first began the Real American gimmick. Imagine going on youtube and seeing Zeb cutting revolution promos or even have them pop up like adverts on the network.
So will Jack keep his Swagger or will Rusev "Crush"? What do you think? Let me know by leaving a comment below or get me on twitter at @LevellerLOW
