After months of controversy, former WWE wrestler Drew Gulak has finally broken his silence following his departure from the company. Gulak, who made headlines earlier this year when Ronda Rousey accused him of grabbing her drawstring backstage in 2022, has taken to social media to speak out for the first time since Triple H addressed his departure during a recent press conference.
In response to Triple H’s clarification that Gulak’s contract simply wasn’t renewed, rather than being released due to Ronda Rousey’s accusations, Gulak shared a video on his Instagram story promoting his Catch Point Wrestling school, which he runs alongside Wheeler Yuta and Tracy Williams. The message accompanying the video simply read, “Hello, pro wrestler, step up your game.”
Gulak’s departure from WWE was met with mixed reactions, with some reports suggesting that he was not well-liked backstage and had a reputation for being a “bully” to younger talent. Cody Rhodes, in particular, has been vocal about his disdain for Gulak, stating that he was jealous and frustrated, earning a spot on The American Nightmare’s “bad books” with his behavior.
Rumors surrounding Gulak’s departure have been rampant, but Triple H’s statement has put to rest any speculation that his release was directly related to the Ronda Rousey incident. Despite this, Gulak’s Instagram post seems to hint at a new chapter in his career, one that focuses on nurturing young talent through his wrestling school.
Gulak’s departure from WWE marks the end of an era for the wrestler, who had been with the company for several years. While his reputation may have been marred by controversy, his dedication to the wrestling community is evident through his continued involvement in the sport through his school.
As Gulak begins this new chapter, fans and fellow wrestlers alike will be watching to see what’s next for the enigmatic wrestler. Will he continue to build a new generation of wrestling talent, or will he look to revive his in-ring career? Only time will tell.
