Shawn Michaels addressed Drew Gulak and Gable Steveson’s departure from WWE during a media call to promote the 2024 NXT Heatwave PLE:

โ€œFrom my understanding, nothing on anyoneโ€™s part other than contracts being up. Certainly, in the place of Drew Gulak. From a company standpoint, there not being anything from a main roster standpoint that they were going to be using him in. In NXT, over the last year and a half to two years, weโ€™ve been trying to get into the process of keeping it fluid. Itโ€™s all about getting to the main roster when everything is said and done. In two or three years, if that doesnโ€™t happen, we bring other people in or see if weโ€™re ready to move on.

As far as Gable is concerned, heโ€™s an incredibly talented guy. Itโ€™s amazing some of the things he can do. Heโ€™s a dude who lands on his feet. I wish him luck (in the NFL), and excited to see how that works out. At NXT, we use people to the best of their ability, but from a main roster standpoint, if they feel there is not a place for them, and their contracts are up, from a business standpoint, they choose to move on.โ€
