5 WWE Superstars who should bring back their iconic attires

#3 The Velveteen Dream- Boxing Gear

The Velveteen Dream is possibly the most unique and versatile Superstar from the NXT roster, and very possibly in all of WWE, as well. In his journey to the top of the pedestal in NXT, Dream has gotten himself over with the WWE Universe in various unique methods, be it his skills on a microphone or be it the ability to mock his rivals via his own in-ring attire.

In the past, we've seen 'The Dream' mock the nWo's classic black-and-white tee, due to his issues with New World Order originator Hulk Hogan. The former NXT North American Champion has also mocked his former rival Ricochet by sporting the latter's Prince Puma tights (Quite the statement that was).

At NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia in 2018, The Velveteen Dream faced Kassius Ohno and in the build-up to the feud, the former promised that he would knock Ohno out 30 seconds into the match, solely because the latter was known as 'The Knockout Artist'.

On the day of the event, Dream gave us yet another memorable entrance, as he walked out to the ring in boxing gear and also wore a mouthpiece. 'The Dream' wasn't able to finish-off Ohno via KO but sure did beat him via the Purple Rainmaker.
