Drew Gulak had his second match back with WWE since word broke about a month ago that he had let his contract expire. This was the first singles match since his new deal and was against one of the top names in the industry: AJ Styles. The bout came about after Bryan and Styles were in the ring together hyping up their match next week on the show in the finals of the Intercontinental Championship tournament.

I didnโt see that coming AT ALL. What does that mean for Styles next week?
WWE logic would suggest that means Styles gets the win next week. Great match. Does this set up a future Bryan/Gulak match?pic.twitter.com/cSVEMO9slu
