I understand the point of people hating how Swagger lost clean, but I have no problem with it.
Swagger (like some previous MITB winners) is viewed as a "fluke" Champion as of right now, who needs to prove that he can hang with the main event players. I think it would be a bit too much to see Swagger going over Orton clean already. He had a great performance and looked strong against RAW's rising babyface. In my opinion, a clean loss would have hurt Orton more than it would Swagger.
It seems as though WWE's plan may be to let us watch Swagger "grow up", mature as a champion, and slowly prove himself to be a main eventer night in and night out, and not just all of a sudden.
Now, I'm not saying Orton pinning him clean was the best option, because I would have preferred a DQ (or they not face at all), but I honestly don't think this hurts Swagger much at all.
