Velveteen Dream Addresses Allegations And His WWE Release In Statement '); The Velveteen Dream had been out of the spotlight for several months before he was released by WWE last week. He hasn’t worked a match since December 23rd when he dropped a loss to Adam Cole on NXT TV. Dream took to his Instagram story to issue a statement on his release and allegations that had been made against him. '); “The allegations from April 20, 2020 have effectively derailed any upward momentum I had professionally. And has ultimately resulted in my termination with WWE. My name is Patrick Clark, not the Velveteen Dream. Velveteen Dream is a character that I have spent years developing and trying to bring to life. The success of the Dream character relied heavily on kayfabe, my ability to blur Patrick Clark from Tough Enough with this over the top personality.
