WWE has added Daniel Bryan vs. Drew Gulak to this Sunday's Elimination Chamber pay-per-view line-up.

Bryan overheard Gulak talking about his weaknesses with Drake Maverick during a backstage promo on this week's SmackDown, and fired out the challenge to his PowerPoint-loving peer. That makes seven matches in total for the Chamber show; WWE will either keep that number or add another "bonus" match so they've got something for the Kickoff portion.

This is a deceptively big chance for Gulak. Impress and he could work his way into a nice spot after WrestleMania 36. Who knows though? WWE's booking strategy blows so hot and cold that trying to establish who sits where in the pecking order is enough to give one a headache.

Bryan vs. Gulak joins Andrade vs. Humberto Carrillo (US Title), Braun Strowman vs. Sami Zayn, Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura (IC Title), The Street Profits vs. Seth Rollins & Murphy (Raw Tag Titles), Aleister Black vs. AJ Styles (No DQ) and both the SmackDown Tag and Raw Women's Title number one contender Chamber matches on the card.

If they're given 10-15 minutes, Bryan and Gulak will smash it.
