Shelton Benjamin was also scheduled to be a part of the blue brand, but an unfortunate shoulder injury delayed his return. That said, SmackDown needs as much roster depth as it can possibly get right now.

WWE is apparently of the mindset that switching Swagger to SmackDown will make a major difference, and perhaps it's possible that his SmackDown stint will exceed expectations. But I am not so sure he is the answer to the blue brand's recent roster woes.
