Booker T on if Velveteen Dream will ever return to WWE?

The two-time Hall of Famer recently discussed Velveteen Dream and the possibility of him ever returning to the company on his Hall of Fame podcast. Booker T was asked by his co-host Brad Gilmore if he believes Velveteen Dream will ever return to WWE.

The legend claimed that he could have had a hell of a career in the company but likely threw it all away.

“No. I do not. [Brad Gilmore always says] that you could put yourself where something could happen and it could be bad. Sometimes, you can never find your way back from it and I think Velveteen Dream is going to be one of those guys that would’ve had a hell of a career if...That’s the end of that story."

Since taking over as Head of Creative. Triple H has brought back several former NXT stars and added them to the main roster. Dakota Kai, Johnny Gargano, and Karrion Kroos, among others, have made multiple appearances.

While there was speculation about Dream's return to the promotion after the aforementioned Instagram post, the arrest now means that all likelihood has dwindled.
