5 WWE Superstars who could fill Daniel Bryan's spot on SmackDown

#1. Dominik Mysterio - The ultimate long-term replacement for Daniel Bryan

Many consider Dominik Mysterio a future World Champion

Dominik Mysterio has been praised in the early stages of his WWE career, and it's a long way to go to reach the spot that Daniel Bryan had. Given that he's only 24 years old, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

We wouldn't be surprised to see Dominik have a lengthy build to his first World Championship. Bryan only took over a year to reach that point, but he was already an established veteran by then.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Dominik Mysterio has all the tools. He's a prodigy, at least in terms of his in-ring ability. He has yet to have his first big test in front of a crowd, but if he performs how he has before, there's no doubt that he can get over.

Dominik is truly a superstar for the future, and WWE will be in no rush to give him Daniel Bryan's spot. But if they want someone to fill that role long-term, he is the best option.
