Velveteen Dream makes pro wrestling return at indie show

Velveteen Dream has resurfaced.

Dream appeared at a Dynasty event in Albany, New York on Saturday. He interrupted the opening match and issued an open challenge. In the main event of the show, Dream’s open challenge was accepted by American Muscle Alec Odin, who Dream went on to defeat.

Dream (real name Patrick Clark) had largely vanished from pro wrestling after he was released by WWE in May of 2021. He last wrestled back on the December 23, 2020 edition of NXT, losing to Adam Cole.

Prior to his WWE release, Dream had been accused of sending sexually explicit photos to underage children online. Triple H later responded to the allegations by saying that an investigation had been done and nothing was found.

Dream was arrested in August of 2022 twice in a one week period, first on August 20 for first-degree battery and trespassing, then again six days later on drug paraphernalia charges. The battery and trespassing charges were later dropped.

Last month, he released a video apologizing for his recent behavior.
