Video: Velveteen Dream

We are back with a Velveteen Dream video. He says he is 23 years old and he has all this talent. How does Dream do this? Is it easy? Does it come natural to you? There is no secret, there is no formula, it is the Velveteen Dream. This is the same Velveteen Dream who stepped into 2017 and said you would not forget his name. Then we are a year later and there is only one man who stands taller than them all. That is the Velveteen Dream. He is vainglorious. Don’t believe the Dream? Ask Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle, John Cena, or Triple H. If you thought year one was something, year two will be spectacular.

Backstage: Tommaso Ciampa

We take a look back at last week’s steel cage match when Tommaso Ciampa slammed Black’s chances of winning into his face.

Tommaso Ciampa had some comments after the steel cage match. He says he is a man of his word. When he makes a promise, he delivers on said promise. Sometimes, he feels like a broken record. He feels like a man sitting alone in a room talking to the wall. Last week was his vindication. Last week proved that somebody was listening. Somebody has been listening this entire time.

Johnny Gargano listens. Johnny Gargano followed his lead and look at what it led to. Johnny Gargano pinned the man who has an opportunity for the NXT Title at Takeover Phoenix. Where does that leave Johnny Gargano. You cannot have a title match in Phoenix, but Johnny deserves a shot at another title. Maybe Johnny should wrestle for the North American title. This is everything that they talked about. Two kids coming into NXT without contracts. Every car ride touring the entire world. They talked about the day that DIY took over NXT. This is their takeover. Takeover Phoenix ends with Tommaso Ciampa as the NXT Champion and Johnny Gargano as the NXT North American Champion. Two kids taking over the world. Johnny, the possibilities are endless.

Next Week

Next week, we will have the NXT Year End Awards. Additionally, Matt Riddle will face Kassius Ohno.
