Drew Gulak was officially written off television this week on WWE NXT.
This comes after Ronda Rousey accused Gulak of inappropriate conduct while she was backstage at a WWE show.
She said, “Bruce Prichard and another one of the writers and God, I forgot his name. I can’t believe I forgot this guy’s name. It’ll come back to me, but I was standing there, and this guy that was like barely an acquaintance with, grabs the string of, like, my sweat pants as I’m walking by. And like, nobody, like, I wasn’t even looking at him, you know? And, I looked down the hall, and I was like, I don’t know if I can swear on this, you’re gonna bleep me? It’s a quote, okay, by this guy grabs the string my sweatpants and nobody else reacts as if this is abnormal. And he’s like, he comes out, and he starts going down the hall. I’m just like, what is that? Like? Why are we grabbing the string of my sweatpants? Like, if my husband was standing here next to me, would you feel comfortable walking up to me and grabbing the string of my sweatpants, but nobody around me acted as if it was abnormal? Like they’re like, all the guys around me were just like, you know, this is part of the day, and I’m like if this guy is coming up to me and doing this kind of stuff to me when there’s other people around like what’s happening to these other girls when it’s not in a hallway or something like that. So that really really put me on an edge to, like, not only is this like behavior prevalent, but it’s so prevalent that people don’t even realize it’s a problem anymore.”
The Tony D’Angelo Family did a segment with the No Quarter Catch Crew on NXT. Tony said that the family had to take care of one of the other groups’ own and wanted payment for doing so.
Hey Charlie, he said no specifics!

While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer talked about the Gulak situation.
Alvarez: “So there was an investigation regarding Drew Gulak and Ronda Rousey. And this was this was what they ended up doing. So, you know, we talked about it at the time that both sides claimed there were witnesses. So this one should have been easy. Just interview everybody that was there, find out what they said.”
Meltzer: “So what I was told was that there was no conclusive thing that the witnesses were not conclusive. And it was one person’s word against the other. But, you know, Gulak was bad publicity. So he got whacked.”
Alvarez: “So he’s still employed. However, to the best of our knowledge.”
Meltzer: “I don’t know. I don’t know that he’s been fired. But when I ask, it’s like, well, if he hasn’t been he probably will be. I mean, so yeah, I mean, it’s not looking good for him. Put it that way.”
