In a SummerSlam rematch, Drew Gulak has a second opportunity to end The Age of Alexander and take the WWE Cruiserweight Championship from The Soul of WWE 205 Live, Cedric Alexander.

Despite being scheduled for a title defense at WWE Super-Showdown against Buddy Murphy, WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander refused to back down from Drew Gulak. The two collided at SummerSlam with Alexander retaining the title, but Gulak claimed the result was a fluke and immediately demanded another opportunity. After weeks of The Philadelphia Stretcher taunting and attacking The Soul of WWE 205 Live – and anyone else in his path – WWE 205 Live Drake Maverick had no choice but to make the match.

Though Gulak was flanked by Gentleman Jack Gallagher and The Brian Kendrick, Alexander remained unfazed and ready to silence his nemesis for good.

As the match got underway, Gulak took issue with the WWE Universe’s support for Alexander and grew angry as he and the champion calculated their first moves. However, a distraction from The Brian Kendrick allowed Gulak to quickly apply the Gulock and nearly come away with a victory. The presence of Gallagher and Kendrick split The Soul of WWE 205 Live’s focus, giving The Philadelphia Stretcher an advantage.

A fighting champion, Alexander recovered and unleashed his own technical mastery, keeping his challenger grounded. With Gulak on defense, Kendrick tripped up Alexander. Rather than disqualifying Gulak, the official ejected Kendrick and Gallagher from ringside, and The Soul of WWE 205 Live wasted no time taking the fight back to Gulak as he argued about his allies being tossed from ringside.

Focusing on Gulak’s arm, the champion remained on the offensive until Gulak countered by slamming his foe with a devastating neck-driver. Irate, Gulak turned the tables and unleashed his own form of punishment on Alexander’s arm, shoulder and neck.

Gulak continued to apply pressure to the champion, trying to force a submission, but the ever-resilient Alexander countered Gulak’s attempts at a suplex and dumped him over the ropes onto the arena floor with a jaw-dropping suplex of his own. Staving off a double-count out, both Superstars barely made it back into the ring before Alexander again unleashed on his challenger.

With victory in sight following an incredible flurry that left Gulak reeling, Alexander suddenly found himself trapped in the Gulock, but he preserved his championship reign after an agonizing struggle to get to the ropes and force a break. Gulak took control before the battle raged back and forth with a series of heart-stopping near-falls, leaving the WWE Universe on the edge of their seats.

As the fight raged, Gulak once again locked Cedric in the Gulock, this time in the center of the ring, but the champion fought free by hoisting Gulak onto his shoulders and driving him into the turnbuckle to break the hold.
Frustrated, Gulak unloaded a series of hard chops on the champion, and as Alexander fell to one knee, Gulak prepared for the knockout blow. However, Alexander countered with an elbow and wrecked the challenger with an incredible Lumbar Check for a hard-fought victory.

After the match, Alexander’s WWE Super-Showdown challenger Buddy Murphy guaranteed that The Age of Alexander will end in The Juggernaut’s hometown of Melbourne, Australia.
