Tony Nese Taking On Drew Gulak For WWE Cruiserweight Championship At Extreme Rules
Tony Nese is getting his rematch.
Tony Nese’s two month reign as WWE Cruiserweight Champion came to end at Stomping Grounds this past Sunday when Drew Gulak pinned Akira Tozawa in a Triple-Threat match for the title. On the June 25th edition of 205 Live, Akira Tozawa and Tony Nese clashed for an opportunity to challenge Gulak at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view on July 14th and emerging victorious from that match was “The Premiere Athlete” Tony Nese.
