#4 Renee Young improved SmackDown during the Brand Split with Talking Smack
Hosting alongside Daniel Bryan, Renee Young was part of one of the most exciting hours of WWE programming each and every week. Though we saw her on each brand, her time to shine was during the post-SmackDown show Talking Smack.

The short-lived WWE Network exclusive show gave Renee Young and the then-retired Bryan the opportunity to bring the best of the Blue Brand's roster when they were on the mic with no script. Because of Talking Smack, we saw the resurgence and rise of several WWE Superstars who had either gotten stale by that point or hadn't managed to catch fire up until that point.
Baron Corbin, The Usos, The Miz and more managed to get the WWE Universe talking because of this show. However, it wasn't just the guests. Renee Young and Daniel Bryan had pretty incredible chemistry together, with the two openly joking with one another in between, and sometimes during segments.
Looking back at the first year of the brand split, part of what made SmackDown better than RAW was their third hour on the WWE Network, where the two hosts brought out the best in their guests.
