During an appearance on NewsNation with Brian Entin while promoting her brand new book Our Fight, former Raw and Smackdown Women’s champion Ronda Rousey accused NXT star Drew Gulak of inappropriate behavior while she was waiting to speak to Triple H in the writers room.

Rousey, who’s been on a WWE culture-bashing tour over the past few weeks, said that she was standing when “this guy I was barely an acquaintance with” grabbed the string of her sweatpants as he was walking by.

“And nobody reacts as if this is abnormal,” Ronda said.

Ronda asked Gulak that if her husband was there next to her if he would be comfortable walking up to her and grabbing the string of her sweatpants.

“All the guys around me were like, this is part of the day. And if this guy was coming up to me and doing this kind of stuff to me when there are other people around, what’s happening to these other girls when I’m not in the hallway?” Ronda wondered.

Ronda said that she told Gulak that if she hears that he put his hands on any other woman or do anything like that to her ever again, they were going to have a big problem.

“And he was like ‘No, no, no, I’m glad you said something to me’ and he backpedaled. But it put a sour taste in my mouth about the culture there and what’s considered acceptable and how to touch and treat the women in the hallways,” she continued.

In a different interview, Ronda also said that while Vince is no longer part of WWE, his “little cronies” are still “running things for him,” once again mentioning Bruce Prichard who she once called Vince’s avatar.

“I wouldn’t be going back to work with them anytime soon because the last time he was gone, he was still running the show. Hopefully, he’s completely gone and they are running more responsibly and allowing people to rehearse,” she said.

Ronda left WWE in August 2023.
