2. Drew Gulak

The aesthetic above is not that of Drew Gulak currently, or not as of this writing anyway. Though it could be by the time you read this, because the man will do anything to try and get over within a system so utterly disinterested that.

Gulak's gone from comedy purveyor of Powerpoint to grizzled hard case and back again during his years with the organisation, but it's been such a fundamentally fruitless pursuit that it's gotten too easy to forget the super-worker underneath the supposed superstar.

What's worse still is that this is supposedly what WWE wants from its key players. Gulak had capital-B Banger with Daniel Bryan just weeks before the pandemic killed whatever it was they were working on longer term, and earlier this year he allowed a rose to be booted clean up his a*se to try and help Angel Garza regain a bit of steam.

Repeatedly, he's made more from nothing and been given less as a reward. If this ultimately doesn't foreshadow a leaner and meaner WWE deeming him surplus to requirements, it might trigger Gulak himself to look beyond Stamford's obvious restrictions.
