#4: Drew Gulak scored a surprise victory against AJ Styles

WWE fans have been patiently waiting to see AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan’s bout in the final round of SmackDown’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament.

This week, both men came face-to-face ahead of their most awaited clash. For Daniel Bryan, winning the IC title would also mean defending its honor every week. This is not only important to maintain a forum of equal opportunity, but Bryan feels that he needs to push his own limits at the same time.

For AJ Styles, handing out title shots around WWE seems like an entirely stupid concept. As a classic WWE heel, the last thing he wants to do is lose the IC title as quickly as he earned it.

The conversation came to a halt when Drew Gulak attacked Styles after The Phenomenal One dragged him into the picture.

This led to a singles match, and before you know it, Gulak squeaked away with an unexpected victory against Styles. Not only is this a huge deal for Gulak, but his victory also made viewers question whether WWE should make a change to the final round of their Intercontinental title tournament.

AJ Styles’ final round spot may be in jeopardy here, and even if that is not the case, can The Phenomenal One really overcome Bryan if Gulak got the better of him this week?
