Daniel Bryan is the third and final name on this list who has been with SmackDown since the WWE Draft in 2016. When the Draft happened, he had already retired as an in-ring competitor and had taken up a new role as the General Manager of SmackDown.

It was a role he held for over a year and a half before he was cleared to compete inside the ring again. The miraculous moment led to a WrestleMania 34 match where he was triumphant in the very arena that he won the WWE Championship four years prior.

He's been a SmackDown resident since then as well and has openly shut down the idea of RAW, believing SmackDown to be "his" show. We completely agree with him and the idea that he should stay on the blue brand. He's become a staple of SmackDown and has found his place there. He seems to be transitioning into a role where he'll be helping other superstars more and we couldn't think of a bigger or better name to do it.
