Velveteen Dream just issued a statement directed toward WWE. He's been under a WWE contract for a little over 3 years now and signed in October 2015 when he was discovered on WWE's reality show "Tough Enough".

Dream joined the NXT roster in 2016 at just 23 years of age. 

I Know My Worth.
The past year I’ve created a special atmosphere at NXTTAKEOVER.

Until WE* can come 2 an agreement as 2 what MY WORTH actually is, there won’t be any appearances or performances from
“The Velveteen DREAM” or
my likeness.

~ Thank U
