#2 Daniel Bryan - 5'8"
One of the biggest success stories of smaller men making it in the WWE is Daniel Bryan, who held the biggest titles in the WWE prior to his first retirement in the WWE due to injuries.
The 5'8" SmackDown Live Superstar, who honed is craft in the indies for many years before moving to the WWE, returned to in-ring action in 2018.
The highlight of Bryan's career happened at WrestleMania 30, where he defeated Triple H earlier in the day, and later faced Randy Orton and Batista for the World Heavyweight title. Bryan won the match against The Game, and then defeated Orton and Batista in the main event, winning against all odds.
Bryan, who had to step away from the ring due to injuries to his head, was cleared by WWE doctors in 2018, following which he laced up his wrestling boots once more, on SmackDown Live.
