The 5 Best Non-Wrestling Performers in WWE

4. Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan’s in-ring career may have come to an end, but the massive crowd reactions have not. His likeability factor is off-the-charts and he’s still among the most popular stars in the company.

Bryan is constantly improving his promo skills and can play a variety of on-screen roles, whether it’s as Shane McMahon’s managing partner on SmackDown or as an advocate for the women’s division in the “land of opportunity”.

A perfect illustration of Bryan’s talent and value was his year-long feud with The Miz.

Before being sent to the Raw brand, the “Most Must-See Superstar” and his general manager had a back-and-forth rivalry that began on Talking Smack and continued on social media, in the backstage area and even in the ring, where The Miz incorporated moves and mannerisms made famous by Bryan. As the antagonist to the fan-favourite General Manager, Miz’s spot as a top heel was secured.

Daniel Bryan’s battle with The Miz was white-hot, even though every single fan knew there was little to no chance of in in-ring payoff. And there’s the rub, the omnipresent question: what if Daniel Bryan can wrestle just one more match?

If the answer is “YES!”, fans rejoice. If the answer is “no”, they can remain confident that Bryan’s mere presence will elevate each and every superstar he comes into contact with.
