8 Wrestlers Who Could Be The Mystery AEW Casino Ladder Match Entrant
6. Drew Gulak
Pros:
Unlike those cut on Black Wednesday, Drew Gulak is free to appear at Double Or Nothing; he allowed his contract to expire and is not bound to a non-compete clause. In a chain of events that will give you whiplash, AEW is now positively overflowing with massive brick sh*thouse hosses and could, if anything, do with more smaller, mat-based grapplers to complement the beef and the dives on offer at the buffet. Gulak would fit perfectly within AEW; he has a style unique to himself and is very capable of veering into the comedy AEW doesn't shy away from. It's not exactly an ideal platform to get a sumptuous technician type over, the multi-man ladder match - or is it? Gulak's 'No Fly Zone' patter on 205 Live was inspired, and his style and mentality could prove a neat device to tell a different kind of story, in which he scurries away from the death-defying leaps and uses the apparatus as a submission-facilitating torture device.
Cons:
Gulak re-signing with WWE is not a "dead issue", and the company has recent evidence that they actually will use him in a prominent position that allows him to wrestle in his preferred style. It's not the "We'll take tag team wrestling seriously!" bullsh*t they sold the Revival last year.
Probability: 50%
