WWE Allegedly Considered Bringing Back Velveteen Dream (With Some Changes)

That would have been a way to go. With so many wrestlers on the WWE roster over the years, it can be a little difficult for someone to stand out. That can be very tricky for someone on their best day but occasionally someone makes headlines for some less than ideal reasons. That was the case for a rather high profile NXT star, and WWE might have wanted to bring him back anyway.

Back in April 2020, Velveteen Dream was accused of inappropriate sexual communication with underage people. WWE investigated the situation but found no evidence to prove the allegations, which Dream still denies. After missing several months due to injuries suffered in an automobile accident, Dream returned for a few months before being let go from the company in May 2021.

Dream appeared on a recent edition of the Dishing Drama podcast and revealed that WWE considered bringing him back under a mask without having him speak. He did not make it clear when WWE considered doing this. Dream has not wrestled since his release from WWE, with his last match taking place on the December 23, 2020 edition of NXT in a loss to Adam Cole.

Opinion: While I can see WWE wanting to have someone as talented as Dream back, there is a stigma that comes with allegations of this kind that are going to make anyone hesitant to bring someone back. At the same time, Dream did not have the best reputation outside of the allegations, and maybe that is why WWE decided to let him go. Either way, Dream was an incredible talent, but the allegations against him are going to be enough to scare off just about anyone.

What did you think of Dream’s time in WWE? Will he wrestle again? Let us know in the comments below.
