#4: Daniel Bryan will face Sami Zayn for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 36

Last week, Sami Zayn's stance on a "mediocre" performer like Drew Gulak prompted him to give the latter a fair chance in a singles match against Shinsuke Nakamura.

The stakes were incredibly high for this bout since Gulak's victory meant that Zayn had to defend his Intercontinental Title against Bryan.

Even at this stage, a lower card performer defeating someone like Shinsuke Nakamura is considered a huge deal. Gulak has benefited a lot since teaming up with Bryan for this program.

Drew Gulak went from making PowerPoint Presentations to rolling up The King of Strong Style for a successful three count on Friday Night SmackDown.

Sure, Bryan assisted by pushing his peer out of the way when Shinsuke had locked on to his opponent for a Kinshasa. But this was the best way to do things without affecting Shinsuke's credibility as a WWE Superstar.

Now, Daniel Bryan is set to face Sami Zayn at WrestleMania 36 with the Intercontinental Championship on the line. In a night filled with gimmick matches, this bout could surprise viewers if both men push themselves to the limit for one night only.
