Former NXT North American Champion Velveteen Dream has made the claim that WWE wanted him to compete in a mask following serious allegations made against him.
speaking on the
Dishing Drama podcast, Clark has made the audacious claim that WWE wanted him to compete under a mask, presumably to hide his identity:
“Just so you know, WWE definitely considered bringing me in with a mask and having me not speak.“
At the time of Velveteen Dream’s release, Dave Meltzer noted in the
Wrestling Observer Newsletter that his release was due to an incident that was reported to upper management by one of the ‘top stars’ in the company and had nothing to do with the 2020 allegations:
“We were told the firing didn’t have to do with those charges or anything that had been made public, but for a different incident that one of the top stars in the company alerted management to.”
