Drew Gulak became the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion by defeating Akira Tozawa and former champion Tony Nese in a Triple Threat during tonight’s WWE Stomping Grounds Kickoff pre-show.
This is Gulak’s first title run in WWE. Nese won the title back at WrestleMania 35, by defeating Buddy Murphy on the Kickoff pre-show.
Below are photos and videos from tonight’s title change at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington:
