Triple H Comments on Allegations Against Velveteen Dream

When Velveteen Dream returned to NXT this past Wednesday after a few weeks off of TV, many people speculated that he was being kept off because of allegations that arose against him in June, with more than one person accusing him of “communicating inappropriately” with minors.

Dream was also involved in a car accident on June 26 and was reportedly hospitalized and released on the same day, though not many details are known.

Triple H spoke to CBS Sports recently and addressed the allegations against Dream, saying, “We looked into what was there and we didn’t find anything” and said that the reason he has been off of TV was because of the car accident and not because of a suspension by WWE.

Here are Triple H’s comments:

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.

Dream will face Finn Balor on this Wednesday’s NXT episode, with the winner moving on to the North American title ladder match at TakeOver: XXX.
