SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan recently spoke to FOX Sports to promote WWE SummerSlam and more. You can check out the full interview here along with some highlights below.
FS: Going back to the WWE Draft, if you pick one star away from Raw that’s on their roster, who would that be?
DB: So, if you would have asked me three weeks ago I would have said Cesaro, but he’s actually got some really great opportunities on Raw the last couple weeks, this past Monday he had two matches including being in the main event on Raw, so I hope that leads to him getting a larger role.
But, because of that, now I would say Sami Zayn. I mean Sami Zayn just had this incredible match with Kevin Owens that he won at Battleground, and fans really like him and he wasn’t even on Raw on Monday. We could really use somebody like that on SmackDown.
FS: Is there any chance we get to see these CWC guys make it to SmackDown in the future?
DB: I would love that, there’s a couple guys that I would love to take right off the bat. Cedric Alexander had a great showing…. somebody, for example, like Tajiri. Everybody talks about – everybody who has tweeted me – has really been talking about how great Kota Ibushi and Cedric Alexander was, but Tajiri and Gran Metalik, and I never pronounce his name right, they had an awesome match too. And I would love for Tajiri or Gran Metalik to be on SmackDown.
