Gabe Sapolsky cleared up rumors of Velveteen Dream working EVOLVE shows being a form of punishment for his “Vince Call Me Up” tights at NXT TakeOver. Here’s what Sapolsky had to say about the matter on Twitter:
“Let’s just kill this narrative now. Dream was requested by us because of his history at the MCW Arena in Joppa, MD. We wanted a homecoming.
“He was then asked to do Queens, to give the fans something special at La Boom. Dream was not “sent” by anyone, he agreed and wanted to.
“This is WWE helping the independent wrestling scene. This is WWE, EVOLVE and Velveteen Dream giving fans a unique, memorable and exciting experience. This is what is good for our business. Thank you.”
