Arguably the biggest star on the list, Daniel Bryan has been one of WWE’s main men for several years now. Even though he does not have the looks or physique that made John Cena and The Rock some of the greatest Superstars of all time, his skills in the ring has set him apart from the rest.

Bryan made a few appearances for WWE between 2000 and 2003, but he did not get the chance to flourish like he did almost a decade later.

Bryan rejoined the company in August 2009 and began training and appearing for NXT. He was part of the infamous Nexus faction where he gained widespread attention for his distinctive look and physique, but the company ended up firing him in 2010 for “being too violent”.

WWE made the right move by rehiring Daniel Bryan

Soon after, the company rehired him for a third run in what turned out to be his breakout stint with the company. Bryan has had some of the biggest matches since and even retired due to injury before making a miraculous return.

Bryan has become one of the biggest names in the business since and had five excellent World Championship runs, and he continues to help newer Superstars in the ring.
