Jack Swagger Vs. Rusev: Fun With Flags

Jack Swagger's feud with Rusev continues to be very good. They will have a flag match at Summerslam. And the development has been solid. All four individuals are doing their thing well. Swagger and Rusev may not be bringing it on the mic, but that is why Zeb and Lana are there. Jack Swagger is obviously very good in the ring. Rusev is a Russian monster. Nothing to complain about here.

Who wins at Summerslam? The obvious answer would be Jack Swagger. Swagger can win this match and Rusev will remain undefeated in terms of pinfall and submission. I cannot think of one good reason why Rusev should win this match.

Will the feud continue to a third PPV? I think there is a good chance of that. Problem is, I don't know if they will be able to keep it fresh. If you just rehash the same promos too much, this will get stale. Inserting the flag theme has helped to keep this feud going in an interesting manner. What can they do next? If they do go to a third PPV match, that will most likely be where the feud ends. There is definitely no need to continue it after that. I am sure they would have freed up some other face for Rusev to feud with by then. And there are heels for Swagger to feud with, if the WWE decides to continue his push beyond just using him to put over Rusev.
