History
editRaw (2011–present)
editDuring Ziggler's feud with Alex Riley, Swagger suggested to Vickie that she should also manage him along with Ziggler, but a jealous Ziggler rejected the offer on Vickie's behalf. At Night of Champions, Ziggler successfully retained his United States Championship in a fatal four-way match against Swagger, John Morrison, and Alex Riley.
On the September 26 episode of Raw, Ziggler retained his title against Zack Ryder with Swagger's help, which led to a 6 man tag team match teaming with Mason Ryan unsuccessfully against Zack Ryder and Air Boom after Ryan turned on them. At the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, Ziggler and Swagger lost a tag team title match against Air Boom, and Ziggler went on to retain his championship against Zack Ryder. The next week on the October 3 episode of Raw, Ziggler and Swagger alongside Alberto Del Rio, Christian, Cody Rhodes, and David Otunga lost a 12 man tag team match against CM Punk, John Cena, Mason Ryan, and Air Boom. They lost another match on the October 10 episode of Raw teaming with David Otunga against Air Boom. Swagger accompanied by Ziggler and Vickie lost in a singles match against Zack Ryder on the October 17 episode of Raw. That same night, Ziggler was a match over Mason Ryan by disqualification after Ryan repeatedly attacked Ziggler. Swagger tried to help Ziggler, but was fought off by Ryan. At the Vengeance pay-per-view, Ziggler and Swagger again lost a tag team title match to Air Boom, and Ziggler again retained his title against Zack Ryder. The next night, Ziggler defeated Santino Marella in singles competition after a distraction by Swagger with Ziggler hitting the "Zig-Zag" for the win. They then attacked Marella after the match, who was then saved by Mason Ryan. Ziggler again retained his title against John Morrison. That same night, Swagger competed as a part of Team Barrett against Team Orton successfully. On the December 12 episode of Raw, Ziggler was nominated for "Trending Star of the Year," and went on to win a fatal four-way match against Zack Ryder, Daniel Bryan, and Cody Rhodes. Even though Ziggler won the match, Ryder won the award and was later attacked by Ziggler, who took the award and left with Vickie. Two weeks later, Ziggler and Swagger competed in a gaunlet match for an oppurtunity for the WWE Championship against CM Punk on the next episode of Raw, which Ziggler won after an interference by John Laurinaitis.
On the January 16 episode of Raw, Swagger became the new United States Champion after he defeated an injured Zack Ryder. The next week, Ziggler and Swagger defeated the team of CM Punk and John Cena. At the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, Ziggler failed at another attempt to retrieve the WWE title from CM Punk, and later that night, Ziggler and Swagger competed in the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match, which was ultimately won by Sheamus. Ziggler again competed for WWE Championship at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view unsuccessfully involving CM Punk, Chris Jericho, The Miz, R-Truth, and Kofi Kingston. Swagger also successfully retained his United States title against Justin Gabriel. On the February 20 episode of Raw, Ziggler competed in a #1 contender's battle royal, which was won by Chris Jericho. The next week, Ziggler and Swagger competed in a WWE Tag Team Title Match against the teams of Epico and Primo, and R-Truth and Kofi Kingston with Epico and Primo retaining their titles.
