Bengaluru, July 11: Years of determination brought WWE Superstar Drew Gulak to top of the 205-Live roster as he was able to win the Cruiserweight Championship. He is all set for one of his toughest title defenses this Sunday as he is up against Tony Nese in the 2019 WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view which takes at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
En route to his upcoming title defense, Gulak spoke exclusively to MyKhel.com on numerous topics. The interview started with focus on how he began his days in this lightweight division with a 'No Fly Zone' gimmick to promote traditional wrestling. The question presented to him was whether it brought any substantial changes to the WWE roster and here's how he reacted,
"If it has, you probably need sometime to realize it. My heart was always going in the right way but I was too focused on what others were doing instead of focussing on what I was doing. So once I was able to make that switch, I found myself on the way to Cruiserweight Championship."

The presenter of old school wrestling further commented on the latest return of Rey Mysterio who many consider as the greatest Cruiserweight to step foot in the pro-wrestling circuit. He focussed on how Rey continues to be an inspiration,
"I was there on Raw. I was happy to see Rey Mysterio back who was a former Cruiserweight Champion....If we're the current generation of Cruiserweights, there used to be a previous generation of Cruiserweights like Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Chris Jericho, the bestest of the best....so Mysterio coming back and getting dismantled by Lashley was perhaps a mistake on his part. But I respect that he came back from an injury to extend his legacy."
