What To Do With Jack Swagger's WrestleMania World Title Spot?

[Shockage]

What would you to if you were in the WWE's position?

The common thing to do is to revoke Swagger of that spot and give it to someone else and immediately suspend him for 30 days.

If I was in Vince McMahon's chair, I'd probably stay with what's planned - ADR/Swagger @ WrestleMania and discipline Swagger after WM29. The thing is, that the seeds have been planted, the WWE are getting media from news channels regarding Swagger & Mantel's controversial characters, so I would probably leave everything as is, and have people debating (hyping) all the way to WM. To go with someone else with 7 weeks to go would still feel too rushed for a WM Title match. I say, let them ride it out, ADR/Swagger should stay.

[The Indy Junkie]

I would say to heck with it all. Swagger and his "controversy" are proving that WWE is now made by wusses. How about since he has controversy and if they don't want it have swagger put his position on the line against the HERO john cena and the have him lose leading to the unification three way at WM where the Rock wins only to be blindsided by the White Ziggler and lose both titles to him. You make Cena stand up for "what is right" then have him put up his WM spot against Swagger's that allows you two things grace out of controversy and the end of this double world title.

Now if you had the Testicular Fortitude just let the match happen and let it go.

Wow , you receive an opportunity like this and you totally screw it up. A chance to win the title at Wrestlemania and you ruin it . What an idiot !

Personally I can't say I've ever liked the idea of Swagger just strolling back into the picture again and been given all these opportunities , when you got a guy like Dolph Ziggler who deserves it so much more . So I'm actually glad the guy got caught with marijuana . If Vince and co have got any sense they should dump him into the mid card where he belongs and give the title to Ziggler .

I would still leave Wrestlemania's match as it is . As Shockage said , it's a bit too late to change that now . But under no circumstances should they let him win . Have him be beaten by Del Rio and let Ziggler cash in his briefcase and win the Big Gold Belt . It's well overdue now.

I would love to see Jack Swagger in the Wrestlemania main event, but bottom line he broke the wellness policy, and it shouldn't matter weather he was in an opening match or a main event the rules is for everyone. So I can see no way that with still wrestlemania still 7 weeks away and how everyone seems to know about this story that Jack can be in the Main event and at the same time be serious about the wellness policy. This could be a good thing in the long run, teaching the guys that no matter who you are, or what match your orginially booked for, you break the Wellness policy then you will have to pay the consequences

[WWE Gary]

But did he break the Wellness Policy ? Nobody knows if he had used the marijuana yet , right ? I think that the publicity surrounding this ...bad publicity that is ......is enough to have him lose at WM or even to cancel the match. If he did indeed use the drugs and went against the Wellness Policy then WWE have to take their normal steps , like they have done with RVD, Orton and others. If they don't there will be major , major issues , regarding the Wellness Policy itself , as well as company policy in general . What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

It may be too late to re-book the stroyline.
However Swagger should not go over ADB and win the title at Mania.

Even before this drug busting violation... Swaggers sudden push has just happened out of nowhere.
He lacks the name value to be in one of the WM main events.... and it doesn't help that hes been booked like a loser for the past 18 months.... building him up with a sudden new persona just a month before Mania all seems rather rushed

It's WWE it's never too late to re-book! Just let the Hall of Pain expand it's Mexican Wing.

Ooooohhhhhhh, tempting, tempting! But I think the WWE should see ADR/Swagger through. At this point I don't care about dotting the i's and crossing the t's of the Wellness Policy. From a 'case by case' stand point, they can still use the bad publicity to hype the World Title.

[metfan51]

Swagger shows up on every Raw and SmackDown and beats some low midcarders. Swagger goes to Mania, opens the show and loses in 15 seconds. Ziggler immediately comes out as cashes in MITB on Del Rio and they have the actual World Title match. Makes sense to me.

[Turley]

Why can't del rios just go over swagger without ziggler cashing in?

[darkchaos]

I was gonna go to Wrestlemania till I got high till I got high. I was gonna face Del Rio for the championship till I got high. Now I'm gonna job again, and I know whyyy!!!! Cause I got high. cause I got high, cause I got highhhhhh!!

But seriously Dolph Ziggler vs. Alberto Del Rio at Wrestlemania please.

[metfan51]

It seems to be a good bet that Ziggler will cash in at WrestleMania. And a Del Rio-Ziggler match on paper and in reality looks better than a Del Rio-Swagger match.

[The Legend Killer]

What's all this crap about it's too far for WWE to redo a match? Like they haven't just thornw crap together for WrestleMania? Jack Swagger NEVER should have even been put in the same sentence as main event. I'm a fan of the heel wrestlers, but, his promos and that manager or whatever just really make me scratch my head and wonder, "Is this even part of the show? Do they even realize these 2 guys are even in the WWE?" The promos are so random and lame, I almost expect a clown to run out dressed up as Daffy Duck with John Cena following it around with the bicycle from Pee Wees Big Adventure, it's that random (although that might be kind of funny). Swagger should have had to actually, you know........ WORK to get back to the main event! Not just, "Oh you're here? Let's see...... main events.. main events...AH! Yeah, I have one right here for you dude!".

And I still don't see the hype[p behind Dolph Ziggler. The only thing I like about him is he's good at making a move look real, i'll give him that much, but that's it. Beyond that, I think he's one of the more boring superstars. His promos sound like an over the top commercial or something. Everything he says just sounds like he's just reading off of a card, then just needs to throw a big ass crap eating grin at the end of it. It's like watching 60's Batman or something (but at least that's entertaining!)

[Shockage]

Out of spite to the IWC, I wouldn't have Ziggler cash in the briefcase.

Just because "it's been done before" doesn't mean it should be done again. The effort has been put into bringing Dutch Mantel back in and having America vs. Immigration theme surrounding the World Title. It's good theme to the point where discussions have gone beyond the pro wrestling realm which is what WWE have achieved in getting more attention for WrestleMania - other than the other WWE Title match.

[Mr. Tambourine Man]

I feel like if he was really driving under the influence WWE should not have mercy on this simply because they've already booked in advance.

But it does kind of suck. I was really looking forward to Swagger vs. Del Rio. Everything about it from their managers interacting to the actual match itself seemed so fresh.

Oh well.

[Darth Shizzel]

Good riddance I didn't think he was world heavyweight title material to begin with oh well I guess this means Randy Orton is getting his shot at the title now.

[Macho Man]

If they do have to suspend Swagger, they could easily have Swagger taken out by Ziggler. Simple motive behind it; a WrestleMania title shot. They wouldn't neccessarily have to show Ziggler taking out Swagger. They could easily just show the aftermath of the exchange and report it as if it were a mystery. With Del Rio being the current rival to Swagger it would put Del Rio as the number one suspect. Ziggler then could come out the following week claiming that he is there to save the day, and in Swaggers absence, Ziggler will step in to fill the void and cash in the MITB at WrestleMania. Ziggler could also throw a dig at Del Rio saying that he knows it was Del Rio that took out Swagger because he knows he isn't good enough to be champ. You could have Mantel make a deal with Ziggler to help take the title away from Del Rio. This would help keep Swagger relevant to the title scene, and it would mean when he returns they could easily build into a triple threat match as they have it revealed that Ziggler took out Swagger in order to get the glory he feels he deserved. Mantel would then end his temporary assossiation with Ziggler and go back to Swagger. All three would then have a valid role within the rivalry and a triple threat would make sense.

[Darth Shizzel]

Problem is WWE have to declare if they suspend somebody.

[Macho Man]

Pfft, fine have them say he did it because Swagger did drugs and that means he is a very naughty boy.

[Shockage]

It's good to see the WWE are going ahead with Swagger's push.

[metfan51]

I guess we shouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't be surprised if the match happens and he goes over. Why? Because the WWE does this a lot. If you get in trouble with the law, they seem to look favorable on you. Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy were suspended a lot and every time they came back, they won titles. A diva attempted to bribe a cop and her punishment was being off of TV for a few weeks. Kaitlyn was arrested backstage for parking violations and a few months later she wins her first Divas Title. The WWE almost seems to reward bad behavior. We'll see what happens but I'd rather see Del Rio win at Mania.
