Jack Swagger Talks Working With Alberto Del Rio Again And More

Vaughn Johnson of Philly.com recently spoke to Jack Swagger about getting back into a feud with Alberto Del Rio and more. During the interview Swagger had high praise for Del Rio and mentioned that he thinks Alberto has gotten even better since he’s returned. You can check out the full interview here and read some highlights below.

VJ: Speaking of the guys, how do you feel about having Alberto Del Rio back on the roster and inserted right back into a feud with you?

Swagger: Alberto Del Rio is an incredible talent. He’s an incredible superstar. I think he has gotten better since the last time he was here. I see a big difference in the way he handles himself, the way he’s wrestling and just a general look about him. It’s going to be a big test. Him and I have a lot of history together. We know each other very well. I’m definitely going to have to raise my level of competitionin order to come out successful against him.

Now, we’ve got a big chairs match for the United States championship coming up at TLC. Adding an x-factor like a chair into the mix is really going to change the outlook.

VJ: A lot of the talk around WWE is the number of guys who have gone down with significant injuries, specifically Seth Rollins, Cesaro, Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton. What is that like when a guy gets seriously injured?

Swagger: You know, no matter how technically sound a superstar is, injuries are going to happen. The physicality is very real inside that ring, and it’s a part of the sport. It just reinforces the fact that we need a great medical squad so we can actively take care of our bodies and prevent pain becoming actual injuries or much worse.

For Seth Rollins, to his credit, that man is a tough one — still being able to power-bomb Glenn [Jacobs, aka Kane] after that.

VJ: What does that do to the locker room when a couple of guys get hurt, especially when it’s big-name guys? Does it change the mood at all?

Swagger: I’ve been in this locker room and on this roster for almost 10 years now, and I can say that the group of guys that we have is beyond good. We understand what the overarching goals are, and everyone does a good job of working together toward them and not for selfish means. So when an injury goes down, it’s an opportunity for someone who [WWE] maybe didn’t have time for to step up.

Our roster is so deep. It has so much talent and it’s so diversified that you really can excel when something like this happens.
