Former WWE and UFC champion Ronda Rousey recently alleged that NXT wrestler Drew Gulak had grabbed the drawstrings on her sweatpants while in a hallway during their time working together in WWE.
Gulak later issued a statement claiming that he went to shake hands with those present and when he went to shake Rousey’s, he accidentally touched the drawstring and apologized for it.
According to a report from Fightful Select, Gulak was pulled from several appearances over WrestleMania 40 weekend.
Gulak’s status was questioned when he did not appear with No Quarter Catch Club on this week’s episode of WWE NXT and his name didn’t appear on the stable’s TitanTron either.
Additionally, Gulak was removed from his seat at the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony after a producer saw him sitting near someone close to Rousey’s inner circle of friends.
Gulak was reportedly not listed for NXT this week and he wasn’t seen backstage either.
There wasn’t supposed to be any mention of Gulak on NXT, and WWE doesn’t have any ongoing creative plans for him.
Former WWE and UFC champion Ronda Rousey recently made a serious allegation against NXT wrestler Drew Gulak. Rousey claimed that Gulak had grabbed the drawstrings on her sweatpants while they were in a hallway during their time working together in WWE. This accusation has sparked controversy and raised questions about Gulak’s behavior and his future in the wrestling industry.
In response to Rousey’s allegation, Gulak issued a statement explaining his side of the story. He stated that he went to shake hands with those present in the hallway, and when he went to shake Rousey’s hand, he accidentally touched the drawstring of her sweatpants. Gulak immediately apologized for the incident, emphasizing that it was unintentional.
However, despite Gulak’s explanation and apology, there have been consequences for him within the WWE organization. According to a report from Fightful Select, Gulak was pulled from several appearances over WrestleMania 40 weekend. This sudden change in his schedule raised eyebrows and fueled speculation about his status within the company.
Further evidence of Gulak’s uncertain future emerged when he did not appear with No Quarter Catch Club on a recent episode of WWE NXT. His name also did not appear on the stable’s TitanTron, which further fueled rumors of his removal from the group. Additionally, Gulak was reportedly removed from his seat at the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony after a producer saw him sitting near someone close to Rousey’s inner circle of friends.
The absence of Gulak from NXT this week and his lack of presence backstage have only added to the speculation surrounding his status. It seems that WWE does not have any ongoing creative plans for him, as there was no mention of Gulak on NXT and he was not listed for any upcoming events.
The situation involving Drew Gulak and Ronda Rousey highlights the importance of respectful behavior and boundaries within the wrestling industry. While Gulak maintains that his actions were accidental and he apologized for them, the consequences he is facing indicate that WWE takes these allegations seriously.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Drew Gulak in WWE. The organization may choose to address the situation further or take additional action based on their internal investigation. Regardless of the outcome, this incident serves as a reminder that professional wrestlers must always be mindful of their actions and treat their colleagues with respect.
