WWE is taking a firm stance on handling internal controversies, particularly after recent accusations against a veteran wrestler. Now, it seems that this star’s return to television is uncertain, if it happens at all.
The controversy arose when Ronda Rousey accused Drew Gulak of grabbing the drawstring of her sweatpants backstage at a WWE event in 2022.
Gulak responded, explaining it as an accidental touch while attempting to shake Rousey’s hand.
Following the accusation, Gulak has been absent from WWE TV. In the latest episode of WWE NXT, his absence was conspicuous.
Tony D’Angelo’s remarks to Gulak’s faction members hinted at his complete writing off from the storyline.
A recent Fightful Select report suggests that Gulak’s return to TV may be delayed or even unlikely. While Triple H and Shawn Michaels typically oversee creative decisions, their involvement in this matter remains unclear.
WWE initiated an investigation into Gulak following Rousey’s claims. Interviews were conducted with witnesses present during the alleged incident, yet the investigation’s outcome remains undisclosed.
Gulak’s complete writing off from TV raises concerns about his future with the company, indicating potential ramifications for his career trajectory.
