The Velveteen Dream made his return to NXT this past Wednesday as the mystery opponent for Cameron Grimes and KUSHIDA in their TakeOver: XXX triple-threat qualifier, and his presence on the show was met with a lot of backlash.
Dream was accused of sending inappropriate messages to a minor as part of the #SpeakingOut movement, and although he's always denied the allegations, many believe he should be kept off television until an investigation was conducted.
Well, Triple H was asked about this during an interview with Brent Brookhouse of CBS Sports, and he maintains that WWE did look into the accusations and found no reason to take any further action.
“You know, in this day today, accusations are made and you take them all very seriously,” Triple H said. “You look into them the best you can, and you find out what is there and what isn’t. In this situation, [Clark] was also involved in a car accident. That’s what took him off TV. In the moment, all this other stuff happens and you look into it and you find that there is a situation that people bring to everyone’s attention, you look into it and find that it is what it is and there’s nothing there.”
The Game also revealed that Dream was out of action because he was recovering from a car accident, and not because he was being kept off TV due to the allegations.
“Everything that we have done, we are comfortable with him continuing to do what he does and everything else,” he said. “But he had a car accident. It stemmed down to people thought we removed him from TV for different reasons. We didn’t. He was in a car accident. Once he was medically cleared to be able to return to the ring from his car accident, we continued forward the way we did. We looked into what was there and we didn’t find anything.”
