NXT Superstars Were Concerned Velveteen Dream Was Becoming WWE Performance Center Coach

Velveteen Dream was released from his WWE NXT contract today. This news was met by a response that one would expect after #FireVelveteenDream has trended on Twitter every time he’s been on television for the past year.

According to Fightful Select, Velveteen Dream hadn’t been coming to open ring and there was a “growing concern” within the company that NXT was setting him up to coach classes for developmental talent.

He had been coming to open ring, and there was growing concern in the company he was being set up to help coach classes. 

It is reported that Canyon Ceman emailed everyone in WWE at around 4:45 PM to deliver the news that Velveteen Dream was released. He is currently on a 30 day non-compete clause like everyone else who was released this week from NXT.

We will have to see if Velveteen Dream ends up in another pro wrestling company. There is a lot of baggage associated with his name. We invite you to click here for full timeline of the allegations against him.

Keep checking back with Ringside News just in case there are any more releases today. We hope that this was the last of them, because the company’s excuse of “budget cuts” isn’t really holding much water with record profits rolling in.
