The departure of Gulak from the active WWE comes after a standout match with Daniel Bryan on last night&#8217;s Smackdown and an ongoing storyline with Bryan about a budding friendship between them. Gulak, in a way, seemed poised to become the &#8220;next Daniel Bryan.&#8221; At just 33 years old, he&#8217;s in the midst of his prime and his stock is as high as it&#8217;s ever been.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s a free agent and should have the equity with the fanbase now to get a solid deal pretty much anywhere once all wrestling companies start back up, and with AEW active now he could join their roster immediately. WWE could also counter with a good offer if there is enough backlash over his contract expiring.<\/p>\n<p>Gulak was a standout performer in a variety of roles on WWE 205 Live in recent years and lately got a big boost on national TV in recent months.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3486994532\"><div id=\"pwtor-2043872071\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Drew Gulak is no longer on the active WWE roster, a result of his contract expiring and not being renewed as of last night&#8217;s Smackdown match.
