As noted earlier this week, Rachael Ellering (known as Rachel Evers in WWE NXT) was another talent released from her contract back in April as a part of the company-wide WWE budget cuts brought on by COVID-19.
Ellering reportedly spoke to WWE officials about having issues with the medical team and with medical procedures a few months back, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Ellering had been doing rehab after her reconstructive knee surgery. Ellering, who worked the first two Mae Young Classic tournaments and signed with NXT in January 2019, suffered a torn ACL in July of last year, and had been on the shelf since then.
Ellering's complaints on the medical team and some of their procedures were reportedly not received well, and that led to her departure. It was reported by the Observer that Ellering, daughter to WWE Hall of Famer Paul Ellering, was given two options a few weeks back. There's no word on those exact options, but both of them reportedly had her getting released. Ellering reportedly chose one of those options, and was then released.
There was a time when Ellering was interested in leaving WWE on her own, but this departure was a company decision.
Add Drew Gulak to the list:
Last night on Friday Night Smackdown, Drew Gulak vs. Daniel Bryan was one of the most entertaining in-ring performances in recent memory on WWE Television. Today, however, PWInsider.com has confirmed that Gulak has exited World Wrestling Entertainment.
WWE quietly moved Gulak to the Alumni section of their website this afternoon but PWInsider.com has been told that Gulak was not released. We have confirmed with multiple sources today that Gulak's WWE contract expired after last night's Smackdown was taped. We are told the two sides had been discussing a new deal, but had not yet come to terms on the deal before Gulak's existing deal expired. This shockingly places Gulak on the open market just hours after one of his best WWE performances to date as he would have no 90-day non-compete as WWE would not be paying him going forward, which means he can appear and wrestle anywhere immediately.
If you think it's a head-scratcher WWE allowed that to happen, you wouldn't be alone, especially since Gulak has evolved into one of WWE's most solid, understated, versatile performers. Something of a modern day Bobby Heenan, Gulak has been something of a chameleon, morphing into whatever role WWE required of him. Whether cast as a serious in-ring performer, a comedic character taking great bumps a la Heenan, being the in-ring glue of Cruiserweight and tag team matches, commentating on WWE TV, working as a manager/second to Daniel Bryan or any other role he's been tasked with, Gulak has quietly excelled.
That's a weird deal.
That was such a good time. The Super 8 was lit every year back then. Really curious as to what Gulak does next.once this pandemic is over and the indies start to feast again tho
It's going to be the epitome of early 2000s type of magic brehs
WWE hoarded talent for years just so they couldn't flourish elsewhwere and now they're releasing the hoarded talent during a global pandemic.
