Former WWE superstar Jack Swagger has accused John Cena of refusing to losing to hi. Swagger won the Money in the Bank briefcase at Wrestlemania 26. Being the MITB holder, Swagger had the option of cashing in his briefcase on either the WWE Champion or the World Heavyweight Champion.
He cashed in his briefcase on World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho, on Smackdown after Wrestlemania. As per Swagger, Cena “absolutely refused” to lose to him.
“Oh yeah, he absolutely refused to do it (lose to Swagger). I was told that was what happened. Because the original plan was I was going to beat him Monday Night Raw and not do the tease. But I’m a young guy. I’ve been there for a cup of coffee, so what are you going to do? But I’m not the only guy he’s done that to. He did that throughout his career,” Swagger told Chris Van Vliet on his YouTube channel.
Apart from winning the World Heavyweight Championship, Swagger also held the ECW championship and United States Championship. He has also been part of AEW. Swagger has now retired from professional wrestling.
