Velveteen Dream has been in the news quite a bit lately and not for the greatest of reasons. First, a report surfaced indicating that his “days are numbered” with WWE, with two separate sources reporting that WWE is likely moving to release the NXT star early next week. Details on why were not available at the moment and nothing has been made official so that story should be taken as a rumor at this point. Then, Friday night a report from Fightful dropped that noted that Dream was involved in a car accident.

As mentioned, there have been reports going around stating that Dream’s status with WWE is in jeopardy. The Mat Men Pro Wrestling Podcast originally put the word out, and their report was later backed up by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.
I’ve been hearing this, as well as some not so wonderful news about him that doesn’t have to do with any of the allegations. https://t.co/34168lwI5l

Mat Men’s original tweet was sent out after Sapp had noted that WWE is looking to clean up their roster of “problematic” wrestlers.
WWE is serious about cleaning up their roster from what I hear, in regards to many problematic wrestlers.
