Every WWE World Heavyweight Champion Ranked From Worst To Best
This is every WWE World Heavyweight Champion (Minus Seth Rollins) ranked from worst to best
24. Jack Swagger
Jack Swagger is a former 5 Star Wrestling Champion and it’s easy to forget the fact that he also held WWE’s World Heavyweight Championship.
Unfortunately, even before Swagger held the Big Gold belt, his reign was foreshadowed by bad omens. He won the Money in the Bank Ladder match at WrestleMania 26, taking an ungodly amount of time to unhook the briefcase. Then, the night after WrestleMania, Swagger almost cashed in on WWE Champion John Cena. At the last second, he realised what the hell he was doing and backed off.
On SmackDown, Swagger enjoyed better luck, successfully cashing in on a weakened Chris Jericho. He then gave possibly the most boring reaction of any wrestler to win their first world title.
Swagger wasn’t actually bored. This was supposed to be the beginning of an ultra-serious heel character, but his title reign was abandoned after 79 days of underwhelming crowd reactions. He eventually dropped the title in a fatal 4-way at Fatal 4-Way to Rey Mysterio.
Multi-man title matches are often used to protect the champion in defeat, but Swagger actually took the pinfall here.
