Velveteen Dream's days in WWE are reportedly numbered
The news of Velveteen Dream's automobile accident comes after reports started doing the rounds regarding his uncertain WWE future.
The Mat Men Pro Wrestling Podcast's Twitter handle revealed that Velveteen Dream's days in the WWE are numbered and based on the word received from two separate sources, the company could release the Superstar soon.
So guess we will talk about this. Dreams days in WWE are numbered... was told by two totally separate sources.
Sean Ross Sapp backed up the report by stating that he'd also heard the rumor while adding that he was also informed about some 'not so wonderful' news about Dream that had nothing to do with the sexual misconduct allegations levelled against the NXT Superstar.
SRS also stated that WWE is really serious about cleaning up their roster with regards to problematic talents. We've already seen WWE releases Travis Banks, Jack Gallagher, and El Ligero following the allegations that were made against the Superstars as part of the #SpeakingOut movement.
There is a possibility that Velveteen Dream also gets added to the list of Superstars being booted out of the WWE.
Dream last appeared on WWE NXT TV on June 17th. His last big match was at NXT TakeOver: In Your House where he unsuccessfully challenged Adam Cole for the NXT Championship in a Backlot brawl.
Velveteen Dream has always been considered to be a prospect destined for greatness, however, the former North American Champion's WWE story could come to an abrupt end.
