Ex-WWE star claims Seth Rollins stole his gimmick

Seth Rollins received new life in WWE when he aligned with Paul Heyman at WrestleMania 41. Meanwhile, Patrick Clark Jr., fka Velveteen Dream, claims that The Visionary stole his gimmick over the past few years.

A few years ago, Patrick Clark Jr., fka Velveteen Dream, was released from the Stamford-based promotion as he was surrounded by controversy. The former North American Champion was once accused of sending explicit images to an underage girl, but those claims were later dismissed due to no evidence.

Today, Patrick Clark Jr. uploaded a series of stories on Instagram where he boldly claimed that Seth Rollins stole his gimmick. The posts had side-by-side comparisons between himself and Rollins throughout the years, and he even added a cryptic video where Triple H calls out Kurt Angle for gimmick infringement.

“Seriously? Seth ‘STEALIN’ Rollins,” Dream wrote on Instagram.

Ex-WWE star demanded an apology from the company and Seth Rollins’ former mentor, Triple H

In 2021, Velveteen Dream was released from the Stamford-based promotion under the old regime. The release came after he was involved in a series of controversies, and the former North American Champion left the industry for a while.

In 2024, he returned to professional wrestling and started from the bottom. While he left the industry, WWE erased him from history and was not mentioned by anyone in the promotion when he was trying to clear his name of allegations and working his way back into the industry.

Today, he posted multiple stories on Instagram in which he demanded apologies, as he was never officially charged with any of his past allegations. After claiming he’s better than many on television right now, he asked his fans to spam Triple H and bring him back into WWE.

“Call to Action: If you love me, like you say you love me, The Boss’ (HHH/HBK) pay attention to social media. Its simple #WeWantTheDREAM. And spam @TripleH @WWE. They will hear you. We can make enough noise to drown out the lies and the hate,” Clark wrote on Instagram.

It’ll be interesting to see what’s next for Clark in the industry.
