Velveteen Dream indie return announced, canceled in two hours
Former WWE NXT star Velveteen Dream’s planned return to the indies was a short one as a promotion announced his return and then canceled it less than two hours later on Wednesday night.
New Jersey-based SWF initially announced that Dream (Patrick Clark) would be on their September 11th Home Sweet Home event in Toms River, New Jersey. It was set to be his first appearance since being released in May and his first match since December 2020.
Within two hours, the indie group’s owner tweeted the following:
“Tonight we announced Velveteen Dream would be appearing at our Home Sweet Home event. I believe any man can be slandered and have been through other situations in my life unrelated but untrue. After careful consideration, Dream has been removed.”
Replies were not allowed by SWF in the tweet.
Once thought to be a lock for the main roster, the 25-year-old was released in May after sparingly being used in the months prior.
