NXT TakeOver: Phoenix had no match for Velveteen Dream, but he did make an appearance in the crowd and received a huge pop.
Triple H addressed Velveteen Dream’s absence from the NXT TakeOver: Phoenix card. He said he didn’t want to over-use The Dream. After all, other NXT superstars weren’t featured on the card apart from Dream.
“The dude’s a star, but you can only fit so many people. I don’t think him not being on the show, Adam Cole wasn’t on the show tonight either. You can only fit so many people on the show. It’s a funny thing in our business because people go, ‘Where was this person on the show?’ but then if this was UFC they’re not all on every card they don’t all fight all the time.”
“That’s part of the awesome aspect of this and the variety of it. You’re not seeing everybody every single time and you’re not doing the same stuff. He had star moments tonight to me just in the little stuff he did. He walked out there and he sat in the crowd.”
“It’s all the little steps in being a star and the one thing about Velveteen Dream is I think that everybody fails to realize for him is he’s been in the business for a minute and how far he is and how far he gets this it’s awesome. I think we all want to take the steps so he gets there in the right manner so it all works in the best way possible. He doesn’t become too big too soon in the wrong way where you put him in the position where he’s not ready for it and he could fail. I don’t see that in front of him, but it’s all things that you keep in your mind.”
Dream is a top class superstar and WWE is using him well. Perhaps we might be seeing him at the Royal Rumble.
