Backstage News on Drew Gulak’s WWE Status and Why the Company Originally Wanted Him

By Nick Paglino

As seen on WWE Raw last night, Drew Gulak worked a Cruiserweight match despite not originally being announced for the Cruiserweight division in WWE.

According to F4WOnline.com is remains unknown if WWE has signed Gulak to a WWE deal, but WWE officials originally wanted to hire him as a Performance Center coach. Gulak reportedly impressed many officials with his work in the WWE CWC, and although some felt he could never be a wrestler in WWE, his skills were so good that the company wanted to retain him as a coach. Given his in-ring appearance on Raw last night, however, it appears WWE might be giving him a second look as an in-ring talent.
