What Do You Do With Swagger Now?

Jack Swagger had a great feud with Rusev a few months ago. He turned face and the fans were liking him. I was hoping the WWE would continue to push him even after that feud with Rusev, which was obviously meant to put Rusev over. That feud transitioned into a minor feud with Bo Dallas. Better than nothing. But what do you do with Swagger now? He seems to have no clear direction.

I understand the issues the WWE have now. They lack stars. Guys have gotten injured. Depth is bad. On the one hand, it feels like they have no one. On the other hand, they do have people. Problem is, they are not using them right. And Jack Swagger is a guy I think they should use better. He has connected well with the fans, he is very good in the ring, and there is a lot of potential with his gimmick. I am not saying he needs to be pushed alongside John Cena and Randy Orton. I am not even saying he needs to be in line to face Brock Lesnar for the title. Might be a good match, but there are guys above Swagger for that kind of push.

Against whom should he feud? Aside from the tag titles, all the midcard titles are held by faces. Does that mean you should turn Sheamus heel so he can feud with Swagger? No. How about pairing someone with Swagger and having them go after the tag titles? That could be an interesting idea. I just cannot think of anyone to pair with Swagger. There are also other heels that can go against Swagger. The patriot gimmick does not even need to be a part of it. How about Miz vs. Swagger? Miz should be moving away from Dolph Ziggler. Have a new heel step up against Ziggler. How about one of The Wyatts? While that feud happens, Miz and Swagger can feud in a non-title feud. I could suggest Swagger feuding with a Wyatt, but I am not feeling that. Let The Wyatts go after titles right now. Let Swagger feud with another former World Champion. That will be moving him up from that midcard feud with Bo Dallas.
