Ronda Rousey accuses WWE's Drew Gulak of pulling on her sweatpants string backstage

“I was standing there and this guy I was barely an acquaintance with grabs the string of my sweatpants as I’m walking by...and nobody reacts as if this is abnormal, and he’s going down the hall and I’m like ‘what the f*** is that? Why are you grabbing the string of my sweatpants? If my husband was standing there next to me, would you feel comfortable walking up to me and grabbing the string of my 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?”

Rousey said she later confronted Gulak over the incident.

“I was like, if I ever hear you putting your hands on any other woman like this or doing anything to me like this ever again...we’re going to have a 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.”

Rousey left WWE in August of last year after losing to Shayna Baszler at SummerSlam and has since been negative regarding her time in WWE. Gulak remains with WWE on their NXT brand as part of the No Quarter Catch Crew, who together hold the NXT Heritage Cup trophy.
