When Jack Swagger burst onto the scene in WWE in 2008, the All-American American came with a whirlwind of potential.
Capturing the ECW Title in late 2008, Swagger would have reigns with the United States and World Heavyweight Championships, before leaving in 2017.
In case you missed it, Swagger, competing under real name Jake Hager recently made his MMA debut, winning via submission at Bellator 214.
According to PWInsider Elite Audio, an agreement has been made between WWE and Bellator to allow Hager to use various aspects of his WWE gimmick in his new career.
That includes his 'We The People' chant that he debuted in WWE in 2013, which was seen at Bellator 214.
Interestingly, the WWE congratulated Hager on the win, so they are taking notice of the former Champion.
