Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger recently posted a tweet, informing his fans about his talk with the President of the United States.

Swagger stated that Donald Trump wished him good luck for his next MMA fight at the Bellator 221 event.

In case you didn't know...

Jack Swagger was a mainstay in WWE for a good while, and went on to become the World Champion on one occasion. He won the Money In The Bank Ladder match at WrestleMania 26, and cashed it in on then-champion Chris Jericho, who was unconscious after having received a thunderous Spear from Edge.

Swagger left WWE in 2017, after asking for his release and being granted the same. Earlier this year, Swagger made a dominant MMA debut when he defeated J.W. Kiser via submission at Bellator 214. He was recently seen talking about his MMA career with CM Punk on the Sauce & Shram show.
