The following is from TMZ.com:
WWE star Jack Swagger was arrested last night in Mississippi, TMZ has learned -- after allegedly driving under the influence ... with pot in his car.
Sources close to the situation tell TMZ, Swagger -- real name Jacob Hager -- was leaving a "Smackdown" taping at Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi when he was pulled over for speeding.
According to law enforcement, the officer who pulled him over determined Swagger was driving under the influence -- and a search revealed Swagger was in possession of marijuana.
We're told Swagger -- a former WWE World Heavyweight champ -- was taken in by local sheriff's deputies ... and later released on his own recognizance.
He has been charged with DUI, marijuana possession, and speeding -- all misdemeanors.
We reached out to WWE, who tells TMZ, "Mr. Swagger is responsible for his own personal actions."
Well, goodbye WrestleMania. Now maybe we can get Ziggler vs Jericho for the title.

Was about to post this. What an idiot, he might have wasted the biggest opportunity he had to become one of the top figures in the wwe right now.

WEED THE PEOPLE!
Okay, but in all seriousness, Jack Swagger... you're a fucking idiot. Now, either Swagger jobs out to Berto at Mania, or we see a triple threat involving Mr. Ziggler or Mr. Jericho, OR we see just Ziggler vs. Jericho after a cash in.
Any which way, it's a shame, as AC said, I felt this feud had the potential to get some really great heat.

What a fucking moron. Never liked Swagger, and this cements my dislike of him. What a fucking waste of the biggest opportunity of his life.

The biggest problem isn't Swagger, though. I mean, without Zeb Coulter, he'd still be the most must-not-see act in WWE history. The problem now is how this shits all over Del Rio and his obvious face push. What do they do now?

Way I see it, with the world title matches this year following Swagger's imminent booting, there should be one 1v1 and one triple threat.
So it would end up as either:
Cena vs. Rock (WWE Title) Del Rio vs. Jericho vs. Ziggler (World Title) (Punk would go on to face Undertaker)
or
Cena vs. Rock vs. Punk (WWE Title) Del Rio vs. Ziggler (World Title) (Undertaker would either face Lesnar or no-show, and Jericho would face Heel-Ryback or Barrett or something)

Not sure where they're gonna go with this now. With it being this close to 'Mania I'd like to see that Swagger just gets fined or something instead of suspended. Either way I think everyone knows Dolph is gonna be the WH Champion come Wrestlemania anyways. So him announcing when he's cashing in and winning a Triple Threat would be a great way to start off his reign looking like a credible champion.

He won't get suspended, he can't get suspended until its proven he took the weed. I think he will continue on to Mania but I can't see him winning the title

Oh under the influence of Marijuana not alcohol nvm. They will still have the match, in 2011 R Truth went a month before he served his suspention so I expect the same for Swagger.
