Drew Gulak reportedly working this week's WWE SmackDown tapings

In a major development on WWE Superstar, Drew Gulak's situation with the company, Fightful Select is reporting that he will be at this week's SmackDown tapings.

WWE announced Drew Gulak's departure from the company after his first-round Intercontinental Championship tournament against Daniel Bryan on Friday Night SmackDown recently. His contract with WWE expired after both the parties couldn't come to terms with a new contract extension.

However, it looks like the situation has improved now, as Fightful Select has reported that he'll be working on this week's Friday Night Smackdown, participating in a battle royal. There is no official confirmation on whether Drew Gulak has re-signed with the company, but it looks a very likely possibility now!

It's interesting to note that Drew Gulak appeared in the ring with over a dozen other wrestlers, but WWE announcers didn't mention his brief absence from the company.
