A recent post-Backlash press conference has sparked controversy after Triple H, WWE’s Chief Content Officer, responded to a question about wrestler Drew Gulak’s departure from the company. When journalist Lucas Charpiot asked Triple H about Gulak’s release, he was met with a dismissive response, telling Charpiot to “pick good news sources.” The comment sparked a mixed reaction on social media, with many criticizing Triple H for his tone and demeanor.
According to Charpiot, a WWE PR representative also rebuked him for asking the question, further fueling the controversy. The incident has raised questions about the WWE’s handling of sensitive issues, particularly in light of the circumstances surrounding Gulak’s departure.
Gulak was released from the WWE earlier this year following allegations made by Ronda Rousey, a former WWE Superstar. Rousey alleged that Gulak had grabbed the drawstrings of her pants in a backstage area in 2022. The incident prompted an internal investigation, and Gulak was subsequently removed from WWE TV before his eight-year run with the promotion came to an end.
Triple H’s response to Charpiot’s question has been widely criticized, with many accusing him of being dismissive and unprofessional. The incident has also sparked a wider debate about the WWE’s handling of serious allegations and its treatment of its wrestlers. The controversy has once again raised questions about the company’s culture and its willingness to address sensitive issues.
As the controversy continues to unfold, fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see how the WWE responds to the backlash. One thing is certain – the company needs to take a long, hard look at its handling of sensitive issues and work towards creating a more supportive and respectful environment for its wrestlers.
