In a world where sweatpants are just as important as suplexes, former WWE star and self-appointed sheriff of “memoir-land,” Ronda Rousey, took us backstage at WWE to a little tiff involving none other than Drew Gulak. Apparently, Gulak thought it was a bright idea to play a game of “catch the sweatpants string” which, spoiler alert, doesn’t end well in the wrestling world.
Fast forward, and like a poorly executed wrestling move, Gulak found himself out of the WWE ring faster than you can say “tap out!” It was reported he left due to a wardrobe malfunction accusation, but let’s not jump off the top rope just yet. Paul “Triple H” Levesque, the WWE’s head honcho in a suit, swears it’s all just timing, folks—Gulak’s contract simply expired like last week’s milk.
Dave Meltzer, wrestling’s answer to Sherlock Holmes, digs deeper in his latest “Wrestling Observer Newsletter” scoop. Sources whisper that Gulak wasn’t just a casualty of Rousey’s rope-a-dope but also had a rep for being the backstage bully. Imagine that—wrestlers who don’t play nice!
And just when you thought this script couldn’t write itself, Gulak, our supposed ring villain, also moonlighted as a coach to the stars, training none other than Bad Bunny. From grappling with WWE Cruiserweight Championship belts to grappling with celebrity egos, it’s all in a day’s work for Gulak!
But alas, as the curtain falls on this drama-filled WWE saga, we wave goodbye to Gulak, a man who danced the delicate dance of wrestling politics as clumsily as he allegedly did with Rousey’s sweatpants. Will he leg-lock his way back into the big leagues or is it game over for this minor onscreen character? Stay tuned to find out!
