Triple H was recently interviewed by CBS Sports. During this, he was asked about the decision to bring back Velveteen Dream to NXT television. This is in reference to the allegations that came out during the #SpeakingOut movement which suggested he may have had inappropriate contact with minors.
Here is what Triple H had to say about the allegations against Dream:
“You know, in this day today, accusations are made and you take them all very seriously. You look into them the best you can, and you find out what is there and what isn’t. In this situation, [Clark] was also involved in a car accident. That’s what took him off TV. In the moment, all this other stuff happens and you look into it and you find that there is a situation that people bring to everyone’s attention, you look into it and find that it is what it is and there’s nothing there.
“Everything that we have done, we are comfortable with him continuing to do what he does and everything else. But he had a car accident. It stemmed down to people thought we removed him from TV for different reasons. We didn’t. He was in a car accident.
“Once he was medically cleared to be able to return to the ring from his car accident, we continued forward the way we did. We looked into what was there and we didn’t find anything.”
UPDATE: Nia Jax has reacted to this story on Instagram, using multiple clown face emojis. Here is a screenshot:
