Recently Departed WWE Star Already Back?

That didn’t take long. Like any other business, wrestling is going to see a lot of turnover. Wrestlers can come and go at any given time, whether or not they have a long term contract. Even if someone is scheduled to be around a company for a long time, they might be left at home or just not used in one way or another. The opposite can be true as well, which seems to be the case.

Earlier this month, WWE began a tournament to crown a new Intercontinental Champion thanks to Sami Zayn being stripped of the title. One of the first round matches saw Daniel Bryan defeat Drew Gulak, which wasn’t exactly shocking. The surprise came the next day, when Gulak left the company following his contract expiring. That was more than a week ago though and things have already changed.

As of Monday, Gulak is once again listed as a member of the SmackDown roster on WWE.com. Also, according to Fightful.com, Gulak appeared at the most recent SmackDown tapings and will appear in a segment on this week’s show. WWE never officially announced that Gulak was gone from the company and it may be a situation where he continues on with not acknowledgment of his contract expiring.

Gulak could do a lot in the ring. Check out some of his better moments:

Opinion: This is a nice thing to see as Gulak is someone with a lot of talent who was getting a rather nice push while it lasted. Assuming he is back, it’s not like his time away is going to mean anything as he was only gone for a single show. I know Gulak isn’t likely to become a top star in the company, but he is someone who can play a role and that’s not a bad place to be in around WWE.

What do you think of Gulak? Are you glad he seems to be back? Let us know in the comments below.
