Backstage Talk on Swagger & WM 29, Rhodes Volunteers for Segment

By MarcMiddleton · Friday, February 22, 2013 · 6 Comments

- We noted earlier that Cody Rhodes participated in a post-RAW
segment with The Rock in Lafayette earlier this week after the show went
off the air. Cody actually volunteered for the segment and pitched the
idea of him going out and taking a People's Elbow and Rock Bottom.

-
WWE sources note that Jack Swagger was scheduled to win the World
Heavyweight Title from Alberto Del Rio at WrestleMania 29. No word yet
on what his arrest means for booking plans but WWE creative was working
late on Wednesday night to come up with ideas, which doesn't sound good
for Swagger and Zeb Colter.

There's talk that if WWE officials saw
fit to change the direction of the match, then Dolph Ziggler would most
likely get the WrestleMania match with Del Rio.

If Swagger ends up suspended and loses the WrestleMania match, the arrest altogether would cost him upwards of $250,000.

McMarc you have no freakin idea how much Swagger will lose if he doesn't get his mania match. Don't insult my intelligence.

"WWE sources" who are they? Swaggs was supposed to win? who said that...easy fix, do a 18 seconds replay like last year with rio getting a quick roll up. Swaggs gets mad and hits rio with a chair, ziggs chases in...if they want the title off rio so bad

Should have him win it then Ziggler snatch it away right away....Swagger remains unseen for a while, then shows back up a month or two later for a feud with Ziggler his former partner?

Middlesh*t, you are an idiot's idiot. You don't have the sources to tie your own f*cking shoes in the morning, let alone WWE sources who have insider info on the doings of the WWE's latest paper champion Jack Swagger.

Swagger winning the WHC at Mania is/was about as likely as any story of yours containing anything of factual evidence in it: it will never happen.

You're nothing but a fat f*cking loser and a disgrace to journalists everywhere. Do us all a favor and GO...GET...BURIED ALREADY.

Not even factoring in how much he would lose on future main event spots, title runs, ect. Pure speculation at its best to me. Although if this little fiasco means seeing Dolph cash in and win at Wrestlemania, I couldnt be happier for Swagger bein a stoner.
