At Wrestlemania 25, the fact that Jack Swagger did not have to defend his ECW Championship came as a bit of a surprise to some. Evan Bourne, who had just returned from injury was also snubbed. According to the source, the reasoning for Bourne and Swagger not being in matches was that they had not been in the company long enough to be put in the biggest event of the year. Others say that Swagger performed poorly at No Way Out against Finlay, and that is why he was not on the card. Many think that this act is making it look like the ECW Championship is not important. Bourne and Swagger were both used as Lumberjacks in the Unified Tag Team Championship Match which was a pre-show exclusive match. Many backstage were shocked to see that Swagger was not good enough to defend his title, and on top of that, wasn't even featured in the televised show at all.

I wasn't shocked thwagger wasn't on WM by the contrary, he is boring... face it.
As for Bourne, it would have been cool to see him on the MITB, but i suspect that WWE rather save him becouse of his recent injury, hope to see him there next year :)
