Velveteen Dream Fires Back at Critics – Claims He’s Still Better Than WWE Stars Despite Five-Year Absence

Velveteen Dream isn’t done making noise. Shortly after calling on fans to spam Triple H and WWE with the hashtag #WeWantTheDREAM, the former WWE star took to Instagram again — this time with a bold video message.

In the clip, Dream appeared shirtless and fired up, delivering a direct and defiant statement. “Better promo, better body and better workrate than all your favorites still on TV,” he said, claiming that he’s still being talked about despite not appearing on TV for five years.

The video follows Dream’s earlier Instagram posts where he demanded an apology from those who he says “dragged [him] through the mud” over allegations of inappropriate messages to minors — accusations he has repeatedly denied.

In a 2024 interview with Chris Van Vliet, Dream addressed the allegations, insisting that the screenshots allegedly showing conversations with a 16 and 17-year-old were fabricated. “No, those aren’t conversations that I’ve ever had with anybody, minor or adult, legal, illegal, consensual, or non-consensual. Those words, those texts, those images that have been pushed out there on the internet—they’re all false,” he said.

Now, Dream is demanding his spot back and wants WWE to take notice. Whether his aggressive approach will earn him another shot or push him further away from the industry remains to be seen.
