Well, folks, if you’ve been keeping an eye on the WWE grapevine, you might have noticed that Drew Gulak’s been causing more chatter backstage than a surprise guest at a birthday party. It’s not all about headlocks and dropkicks for Gulak these days—there’s a bit of drama unfolding off the ropes.
Recently, former WWE Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey pointed a finger at Gulak, accusing him of misconduct. WWE isn’t taking these claims lightly—no sirree. It seems like they’re putting the brakes on Gulak’s appearances faster than you can say “tap out.”
Here’s the skinny: Gulak, who’s been wrestling both in the ring and in his role with the No Quarter Catch Crew in “NXT,” found his name scrubbed from the faction’s video intro quicker than a hiccup. Fightful’s got the scoop that this wasn’t just a technical glitch—the crew’s now marching to the beat of Charlie Dempsey’s music instead.
And that’s not all. Over WrestleMania weekend, Gulak was about as visible as a ghost. He was pulled from several spots, including a no-show at the Hall of Fame ceremony. Word on the street is he was initially set to rub elbows with some of Rousey’s pals. Talk about awkward.
As for “NXT” TV time? Gulak’s name is turning into the Voldemort of WWE—nobody’s supposed to utter it on air. And when it comes to what’s next for him creatively? Well, let’s just say the writers’ room might as well have tumbleweeds rolling through.
Gulak, for his part, isn’t just wrestling with accusations; he’s wrestling with words, too. He hit up X to say the whole thing was an unfortunate accident and that he’s already offered his apologies to Rousey.
So, as the ropes of the ring continue to reverberate from the body slams, the backstage buzz about Gulak’s future is just as intense. Stay tuned, folks, because in the world of WWE, the drama never sleeps.
