At the WWE post show press conference, Triple H answered a question regarding Drew Gulak, noting that he was not released by the company.
Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp and Corey Brennan have confirmed with multiple WWE and NXT sources that Gulak is actually still with the company but was informed would not be re-signing him once his deal expires next month. Gulak was informed recently.
In regards to the recent claims of sexual misconduct made by Ronda Rousey, Brennan is told that this initiated an investigation by WWE into the incident and Gulak as a whole. From those we spoke to in NXT, the belief is that Gulak’s public response to Rousey’s claim only made things worse for the former Cruiserweight Champion, but was not the determining factor in the decision to not bring him back.
In asking around with talent in NXT, several talent made claims to Brennan that Gulak was a ‘bully’ who would often target injuries during matches with talent that were recovering from minor injuries at the time. One talent claimed that during a match with Gulak, the former No Quarter Catch Crew member purposefully re-dislocated a previously dislocated finger, while another claimed that Gulak would intimidate talent into not reporting the incidents.
Fightful also learned of an incident during an NXT taping last year where Gulak was verbally reprimanded by Shawn Michaels and NXT coaches for intentionally spiking an opponent during a match.
One NXT talent who worked with Gulak noted that he was “odd” in the sense that he would often ‘test’ talent to see if they would react to his bullying.
In regards to the Triple H comments, we'll provide as much transparency as possible. It was reiterated to us by WWE and Triple H that the comments weren't intended to be directed at Fightful or PWInsider. Whether anyone chooses to believe that is up to them, but Fightful received numerous apologies. We were told Triple H's particular issue was that Ronda Rouseys accusations of Gulak grabbing her sweatpants string were not the contributing factor to Gulak's departure. We will discuss the situation more on this week's shows. We're told PWInsider received apologies as well -- whether or not those apologies to the outlets are in good faith are to be determined.
While Gulak is actually still under WWE contract, and was informed that his WWE deal would not be renewed, despite him wishing to remain with the company.

The Minnesota Tribune covered WWE bringing Wrestlemania 41 to Las Vegas instead of Minneapolis, which had been the front runner.
"We were informed by WWE that Minnesota would not host WrestleMania in 2025 due to a change in direction by new ownership," Wendy Blackshaw, Minnesota Sports and Events's President told The Star.
"Although disappointed, we are in discussions with WWE about future events in Minnesota. We are optimistic that Minnesota will host WWE events here in the future."
As PWInsiderElite.com has covered since the day after Wrestlemania 40, the delay in naming the date and location had been with WWE deciding where their flagship show. WWE President Nick Khan had noted in an interview Mania 40 week that Philadelphia was the final weekend he had inherited from the previous ownership. Vegas is a big fight city that has not hosted Wrestlemania since 1993 and obviously, close to Los Angeles and the entertainment world.
The belief over the course of Wrestlemania 40 weekend among some in WWE circles was that Vegas would land 40 and Minneapolis could land 41, but obviously Mania 41's location has yet to be confirmed.

Don't count Bo out. We haven't tapped into what he can do yet. Plus he always had a lot of people saying in the industry that he was talented but just needed an opportunity.
I'm excited to see what he does. Gacy will be a good edition to whatever it is as he was suppose to be with Bray before.
Dudes hyped over Bo Dallas, I just can't with y'all today
