My heart says yes, but my brain says no.

He really should have been the first person to defeat Rusev. The fans were behind him 100% and he had entire arenas chanting "We The People" and cheering him on, wanting him to defeat Rusev.

But for some reason, he wasn't booked to defeat Rusev, which I think hurt him bad. So bad that it's now impossible for him to achieve anything big. As much as I love Swagger, I really don't see any championships coming his way now or even title shots and feuds. I actually think the day is drawing ever near to when we get the news of his release.

Having Swagger defeat Rusev was so obvious that it was the thing to do, but the WWE did what they do best and fucked up something that could have been huge. I can only imagine the reaction Swagger would have got if he defeated Rusev at TLC. I can only assume that it would have lead to Swagger being a main event name and going on to have at least one run as WWE Champion sometime down the line.

Now, because of his loss to Rusev, he's just a jobber now and the fans can't really take him seriously or see him as a threat to anyone.
