#1 More screen-time for Drew Gulak and Heath Slater

Daniel Bryan has proven time and again that not only is he a ring general, but is also one of the most brilliant minds in the company. Last week we saw Drew Gulak and Heath Slater involved in a segment with the former WWE Champion.

As per WrestlingNews.co, Daniel Bryan is behind the push for Gulak and Heath Slater as he believes they are underutilized. Although Bryan may be heading towards a clash with Sheamus at WrestleMania 36, his support to these two Superstars will ensure that they get more screen-time and presence on SmackDown.

I am told that this is Daniel Bryan’s idea and the reason why Gulak and Slater have been appearing on SmackDown lately is that Bryan suggested for them to be used in a storyline with him since he is friends with them and knows that they are underutilized.

It will be ininteresting to see what direction Bryan's program with Gulak will take this week on SmackDown. The former Cruiserweight Champion will look to solidify himself as one of the top performers on SmackDown.
