Welcome to another edition of the daily WWE Rumor Roundup, where we try and bring the biggest rumors and updates from the world of sports entertainment. In today's edition, we will take a look at some interesting stories revolving around names like Charlotte Flair, Bray Wyatt, and Drew Gulak.

Last week on SmackDown, Gulak was assaulted by Charlotte Flair during their segment. The 34-year-old was 'auditioning' to be a broadcast team member and angered the 16-time champion, Flair, during her interview.

The Queen then put Gulak in a figure-eight leg lock. However, she botched the move and was saved by Drew Gulak.

3) Details on Drew Gulak's professional behavior during segment with Charlotte Flair

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Brian Alvarez noted that Flair did not apply the leg lock properly. Gulak's presence of mind made the lock look somewhat believable.

“So, he turns to leave and she ends up chop blocking him from behind and she goes to put him in the figure eight, and she loses his leg, so poor Drew Gulak has to hold his legs in the right position because she doesn’t actually have the hold on right,'' said Alvaraez.

Dave Meltzer stated that Gulak was very professional during the segment. However, he also said that WWE tends to release superstars after such segments, and Drew Gulak might be in danger of getting cut soon.
