Kushida and Drew Gulak had put on a masterclass not very long ago when the two men engaged in a battle for the ages. They had a rematch this week, with a special stipulation.
Kushida and Gulak would take each other on in what was a fabulous submission match that had both men showcasing their vast submission vocabulary. It was a sight to see just how fluid, how gritty, and yet how artistic submission wrestling can be when two masters of the discipline engage in combat.

I loved the fact that while pinfalls were teased, we didn't go in for the typical 'no pinfalls are allowed in this match, or the other man would have won it' spot. Kushida won the match and I daresay that this was the right move as he's the guy with all of the momentum.
I wonder if Gulak stays with NXT now.
