Currently, there is no word on what led to The Velveteen Dream’s firing. So, please stay tuned.
Fans last saw The Velveteen Dream on the December 23 episode of NXT. There, he lost to NXT Champion Adam Cole.
Therefore, her was longer able to challenge fo the NXT Championship while Cole was champion. Still, that would not matter as he stopped appearing on TV.
The Velveteen Dream was spotted backstage on the May 10 episode of RAW. He was never scheduled to appear and there is no word why he was there.
After a decent push in NXT, which saw him capture the NXT North American Championship and even challenge for their top prize, allegations changed everything.
He was accused of sending sexual pictures to minors and other claims were also made. WWE investigated and found nothing.
Although, that did not stop fans. When ever The Velveteen Dream appeared on TV, he would trend on social media.
Basically, fans called for his removal from WWE.
Dream signed with WWE in October 2015. Prior, he was a participant in Tough Enough season six.
Fans Rejoice Over To The Release Of The Velveteen Dream
Velveteen Dream gotta be the biggest case of self sabotage ever.
Bro had legends praising him, John Cena wanting a match with him, he was supposed to be the future, but he decided to focus on the TEEN part of his name.
What an idiot.

Cant say I’m shocked. Once a bright star with the potential for an incredible future ruined because of sheer stupidity. A real shame…

Velveteen Dream might just be the biggest waste of potential in wrestling ever. He had everything. The character, the in-ring work, the promo, the look, the star presence.

Velveteen Dream had the absolute potential to break the glass ceiling and make it to the top of WWE, but he dropped the ball with what he’d done.
His actions are absolutely INEXCUSABLE.
Thank you WWE for making the right decision.
“Enjoy infamy…Velveteen Dream.”
