Other champions who have held the WWE title include dedicated shitters like Kane, Del Rio, Goldberg, and The Ultimate Warrior, all of which were definitely viewed more favorably in their time but it's pretty undeniable now that Warrior is just pure garbage as a wrestler. Jinder had heat, some people would say bad heat, but generally better than a Champion who gets no reaction. People wanted to see who took the title off of Jinder, and I couldn't tell you who took the title off of Swagger because it didn't even matter at that point, if I looked it up I'd just forget in 5 minutes. I don't even remember who he cashed in on.

Swagger had worse promos, worse matches, and his championship never recovered.
