WWE News: WWE Looks at Velveteen Dream’s “Indie Guys” Tweet, Poll on Cruiserweight Championship Tournament

– WWE has a new article looking at Velveteen Dream saying that he was “irritated by the indy guys coming into NXT.” You can see the post from WWE.com below, which includes the Tweet:

Over the last few years, WWE NXT has become a destination for independent talent looking to hone their craft — Kassius Ohno, Samoa Joe, Apollo and The Undisputed ERA are among those whose body of work led them to make the leap to Full Sail University. At least one “homegrown talent,” however, isn’t impressed with the influx.

Inarguably one of the Yellow Brand’s fastest-rising stars, The Velveteen Dream took to social media to say how he really feels about the “indy guys” who, in his mind, detract from the real Superstars that are worthy of the spotlight.

Dream, who loves to speak in riddles, did not, of course, name the competitor(s) who has so ruffled his boa feathers as to rile him up online. (Tyler Bate seems a solid bet, given their recent animosity.) But given the quality of Dream’s in-ring performances thus far, it’s fair to say that his words are as worthy of the NXT locker room’s attention as his actions.
