Other users on social media had the chance to put their tin-foil hats on and speculate as to whether the allegations from Rousey had led to further investigation by WWE into Gulak, thus leading to his departure. "Does anyone else think there's something more to this story that we're not being told? ... If Ronda's telling the truth then firing him seems way out of proportion considering he took accountability for his actions. But if Gulak's telling the truth, then he really needs to work on his spacial awareness around women but again, with no real malice intended on his part, firing him also seems way out of proportion," one user expressed at length. Another added, "Either their investigation found something worse about him or they didn't want to risk any bad optics while they're dealing with the Vince s***. Wild way to flame out. Seemed so random." 

And the sentiment continued to be echoed, "I guess WWE found more evidence against him, was pretty dumb to admit to what Ronda accused him of in the first place." On the X and Instagram social platforms, there were many who took the side of Gulak after his release, going as far as blaming Rousey for his loss of employment. 

"Ronda Rousey cost Drew Gulak his job. Horrible person," one wrote. "This one hurts! Drew Gulak was a great addition to the WWE roster. He'll be missed. Thanks for the memories, Gulak!" added another. "All because Ronda wanted to lie for attention," was one of the more verbose takes along with, "Wow, Ronda really ruined [his] career, if I was Gulak I'd sue Ronda Rousey. He did nothing wrong."
