Drew Gulak is set for the most important match of his wrestling career against AJ Styles on Friday night’s SmackDown. The Intercontinental title is on the line, but this match also serves as an opportunity for Gulak to connect with the WWE viewership.
A 12-to-15-minute match, which is the often the sweet spot on WWE television, should allow Gulak the chance to showcase his ability as a mat technician, especially since he is working with an elite talent in Styles. Even more importantly, Gulak needs viewers to better grasp his never-say-die, Philly underdog persona. If he can successfully do that, then the immediate future becomes even brighter for the newly re-signed WWE star.
