Well, folks, it looks like the wrestling ring isn’t the only place where drama unfolds in WWE. Following a whirlwind of tales surfacing about the backstage antics at WWE, Drew Gulak finds himself at the center of one such tale, involving none other than Ronda Rousey.
Rousey, no stranger to speaking her mind, recently aired her grievances about WWE’s backstage culture, pointing fingers and naming names. But it was her story about Gulak and the infamous sweatpants incident that really got people talking. According to Rousey, Gulak made an unsolicited grab at her sweatpants’ strings in a move as unexpected as a surprise entrance at the Royal Rumble.
But wait, there’s another side to this tale. The day after Rousey’s bombshell, Gulak hopped onto X to clear the air. Picture him, if you will, tweeting away: “It was all a big misunderstanding,” he says. “I was just trying to say ‘howdy’ with a handshake, but ended up with a handful of drawstring instead.”
Gulak’s tweet reads like a scene straight out of a sitcom – a mix-up, an accidental encounter, followed by an earnest apology. It’s the kind of situation that might end with canned laughter in another universe, but here, it’s left us all scratching our heads.
While Rousey has kept mum on Gulak’s clarification, and WWE remains as silent as a mime, the incident sheds light on the complexities of navigating the backstage world. Gulak, known for his technical prowess in the ring and as the current captain of the No Quarter Catch Crew on “NXT,” finds himself in a plot twist worthy of prime-time TV.
As Gulak continues to showcase his skills on “NXT,” defeating opponents with the finesse of a chess master, this off-the-mat scuffle serves as a reminder: even in the world of professional wrestling, where the lines between reality and performance blur, a simple mishap can spiral into a storyline all its own.
