In case you missed it, Velveteen Dream was recently announced for a couple of upcoming EVOLVE events. After this happened, there were some rumors floating around that this could be some punishment for Dream’s “Vince Call Me Up” tights. Dream wore these at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn.
Gabe Sapolsky took to Twitter to address these rumors.
Here is what he said:
Let’s just kill this narrative now. Dream was requested by us because of his history at the MCW Arena in Joppa, MD. We wanted a homecoming. He was then asked to do Queens, to give the fans something special at La Boom. Dream was not “sent” by anyone, he agreed and wanted to. https://t.co/l3htPZHFln
