10 Best Drew Gulak WWE Moments

10. Drew Gulak Vs. Tony Nese

During the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic Tournament, the instant friendship between Drew Gulak and Tony Nese was obvious. Although different in style and stature, the two formed a bond based on a mutual desire for success and the disregard for the pandering styles of their competitors.

However, with a shot at the vacant title at stake in February 2018, General Manager Drake Maverick challenged the two put their friendship aside in this bout. This was not as difficult as expected due to the nature of their relationship in the previous months.

Yet nobody expected the level of ferociousness from the match that we saw.

After Nese kicked away Gulak’s peace offering, the match became a mixture of both men’s style with hard-hitting strikes, targetting body parts, and strength. In the end, it took a clothesline and Dragon Sleeper to pick up the win for Gulak over the nearly unconscious Nese and allow him to advance to the next round.

As well as being a match to remember, it was also the start of the dwindling friendship between the two and a feud that would remain for almost the next two years.
