WWE released Velveteen Dream earlier this month, and he blamed the allegations leveled against him as the reason for it. Patrick Clark believes his career stalled and led to his release after the accusations, but reports suggest that the main reason was something else.

As per Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Velveteen Dream was released after top stars in the company complained to management regarding a different incident. Though Meltzer did not elaborate about that development, he confirmed the release was not because of screenshots or other allegations against Dream.

"We were told the firing didn't have to do with those charges or anything that had been made public, but for a different incident that one of the top stars in the company alerted management to," wrote Meltzer. "However, Clark blamed the screen shots from April as the reason his push ended (which in a roundabout way may have been true) and for his being fired (which came many months after his push ended.)"

Though WWE artist Rob Schamberger did not name Velveteen Dream in a tweet, he indirectly suggested that the WWE NXT star was the most unprofessional person he knew backstage.

Velveteen Dream was touted as the future of WWE, but his career, at least with the company, has been cut short.
