9 Rising stars who could main event WrestleMania in the future

Potential WrestleMania Main Eventer #9: The Velveteen Dream

Real Name: Patrick Clark Jr.

Height and Weight: 6'2", 227 lbs.

Years in the Wrestling business: 5 (journeyman.)

In ring style: US standard worker with some high flying.

The Velveteen Dream was once a contestant on the Tough Enough program. He quickly distinguished himself for his ability, but many on the show believed him to be arrogant.

You don't say!

Velveteen Dream is now working on the NXT brand, and while he's as arrogant as ever his persona has been completely transformed. No longer 'slugger' Clark, he has embodied the new image of metrosexual fabulous that became popular with the current generation. Despite his relative inexperience in sports entertainment, Velveteen Dream has excellent poise and charisma, which makes him seem much more seasoned than he actually is.

Why he might main event WrestleMania someday: Velveteen Dream came into NXT playing the heel role, but his style and panache have made him a fan favorite. Already he has tasted gold, winning the NXT North American title from a very game Johnny Gargano, and in a few years he might be wrestling in the main event of WrestleMania for another strap.
