#FireVelveteenDream Trending On Twitter After Last Night’s NXT
The Velveteen Dream picked up a win on last night’s episode of NXT and there are a lot of people unhappy about it. The term #FireVelveteenDream began trending last night and as of this morning, it still is. If you look at the tweets, it’s largely people who believe that the Dream should be fired due to recent accusations of grooming and sexual misconduct with underage boys. At the time, there was alleged proof, nude photos that people claim to be him and an audio sample with his voice. Dream disappeared from television after the #SpeakingOut movement revealed more claims, but Triple H recently said that he was absent due to a car crash. He also said the WWE investigated the matter and found nothing.
It seems the fans posting the tweets think otherwise, as they brought the examples of proof back up. Many also tagged Triple H, pointing out he’s a father and shouldn’t be okay with this. There’s also a petition going around demanding the same thing. You can see some of the more SFW trending tweets below.
I’m going to put this out here again. Here is a video I took of the conversation I had with Patrick Clark (Velveteen Dream) on April 24th. I’ve seen what Triple H has said and I’ve had no communication with them. I have went to police and they haven’t followed up with me pic.twitter.com/wm1xGjs2Cv

Odd that WWE can take all three members of a trio off TV for the political views of a single member but a guy who has been accused, quite credibly from the looks of it, of being a pedophile not only is on TV but is getting a title shot. #FireVelveteenDream

How are you going to push Dream without even telling us how you investigated him? When more claims proof comes out, "WWE NXT Champion Velveteen Dream once again under investigation for sexual misconduct and pedophilia claims" won't look good as a headline. #FireVelveteenDream

Being a PREDATOR overshadows character or in-ring work ANY day.
With as much evidence that there is, it sick that WWE allows him to keep his job.
Do better @WWE @TripleH #FireVelveteenDream

The locker room is against him. Everyone on socials is against him. Now, @TripleH, YOU need to be against him. Do better. #FireVelveteenDream. #FireDream.
