#9 Jack Swagger
Jack Swagger had an incredible amount of potential. The Oklahoma native was pushed right to the top of ECW, capturing the ECW Championship four months after his debut on the main roster. Surprisingly, his reign with the third-rate title was more memorable than his time at the top of the Smackdown brand.
At WrestleMania XXVI, Swagger captured the Money in the Bank Briefcase, earning a title shot for either the WWE or World Heavyweight Championships whenever he wanted. He held the briefcase for two days before cashing in on Chris Jericho. Y2J had been speared by Edge, and his injured ribs made him an easy target.
Edge walked back up the ramp before Swagger took him out with the briefcase. Swagger then grabbed a ref, demanding a ref to come down to the ring.
Swagger planted Jericho with the Gutwrench Powerbomb, picking up the World Heavyweight Championship for the first, and only time.
Swagger held the championship for only 82 days. In that short time, he defeated the likes of Edge, Chris Jericho, and Randy Orton. He also escaped a title match with Big Show by intentionally disqualifying himself.
After a few months, Swagger eventually lost his title to Rey Mysterio at Fatal-4-Way in a match that also included the Big Show and CM Punk. Swagger failed to recapture the belt at Money in the Bank but put on a pretty great match with Mysterio, so well in fact that some fans believed Swagger could be back at the top of the card at any time.
Sadly that wasn't the case. Although he was put into another world title feud in 2013, debuting his "Real American" persona, an arrest a month before the event would halt his push, and he'd float around the mid-card until he was released from the company in 2017.
