5 WWE mid-carders Daniel Bryan has put over

#4 Big E & Xavier Woods

The New Day has been one of the hottest acts in WWE for a while now. The group has won the SmackDown Live Tag Team titles on four separate occasions, and their playful mannerisms have made their merchandise hot favorites with the fans, especially kids.

Despite all of this, it's not a secret that Big E and Xavier Woods are mid-carders at best, in contrast to Kofi Kingston, whose career shot up earlier this year.

At Extreme Rules, Daniel Bryan and Rowan defended their Tag Team titles against The New Day and Heavy Machinery in a Triple Threat Match. The ending saw Woods and Big E putting down Bryan with a Midnight Hour, and Xavier pinning him to win the titles for a record fourth time.

#3 Shelton Benjamin

Benjamin returned to WWE in 2017 and was put in a tag team with Chad Gable. The duo won their first match together, defeating The Ascension on an episode of SmackDown Live. Benjamin was a mid-carder for almost the entirety of his previous WWE run.

Things didn't change much on his return, and he became a mid-card mainstay on the blue brand.

On the October 2, 2018, episode of SmackDown Live, Benjamin faced Daniel Bryan. The match was marred with interference by Bryan's arch-rival The Miz, which resulted in Benjamin bagging the opportunity and pinning him to win the match.
