The WWE locker room was very excited that Jack Swagger won his MMA debut

In a rather perfect evening for scripted fighters and spectators, Jake "Jack Swagger" The debut of Hager's MMA Pro at Bellator 214 took place right after the release of WWE NXT TakeOver: Phoenix.

It was good timing too, because it meant that fans could see R-Truth rapping Hager in the cage for his fight against J.W. Kiser, but also because the fight was over soon enough. The former WWE World Heavyweight champion won by submission at 2:09 of the first round with a throttle of the arm triangle.

It also means that even if they wanted to see the black and yellow mark do so, Swagger's former colleagues in the WWE locker room could be watching. They did it and they liked what they saw.

Some filmed watching their boy receive a W:

The old load of Zeb Colter does not seem ready to give up his old job for the moment. Even though he says he plans to spend the next ten years fighting for Bellator, he also said, "Sometimes, to convince Vince, you have to convince Vince, baby!", No matter what that means.

And then there is this:

The Soaring Eagle would be proud.
