Former WWE Superstar, Jack Swagger recently spoke with WrestlingInc.com where he adressed balancing MMA and professional wrestling.
On balancing wrestling and MMA:
“When I left WWE in 2017, this was the plan. We could see pro wrestling really rising and becoming more popular so it was a good opportunity to leave and do both,” said Swagger. “The MMA team has been great and have been accommodating with my schedule. We have lulls when we don’t wrestle and we go harder and then times where I’m working on the [wrestling]shows.
“They’ve been onboard the whole time and understood what I’m trying to do as no one else is doing both – pro wrestling and MMA actively. It’s an exciting time.”
On the progress he has made:
“It’s really cool to see the progression since 2017 when I started the journey. To see where I was where I was struggling with kickboxing, to where I am now at 2-0 professionally is really cool. It gives you a lot of motivation to keep going because [it confirms]you’re on the right path,” stated Swagger.
“I left a very well-paying job that thousands of people would love to have for a better opportunity. Right now it’s a cool moment for my family and I feel vindicated.”

On his Bellator future:
“It’s about time for another [contract]. I’m expecting an announcement for the next date which would be the third [fight]. We have a good relationship and Bellator’s been great to work with. It’s one of those things that we can re-negotiate when the time is right,” stated Swagger.
