An idea was then presented to link Christian in a new feud with someone they saw as a good, major opponent. This ended up being ECW Champion Jack Swagger. The general opinion among creative was that the longer they didn't get him on TV then it was more likely that he would wind up never getting going and it was the best they could do with what they had. The ECW show Christian debuted on ended up having a rewrite as it pertained to his match with Jack Swagger. It was originally scripted to be a short match for him to shine more and ending with a no contest or Swagger simply walking out and getting counted out. However, after this was written, Vince changed the show which saw interference from Finlay and Hornswoggle that lead to Christian getting a pinfall over Swagger. The line by many in creative is that Vince still doesn't see anything in him that others do.
