Patrick Clark Jr. (born August 19, 1995)[3] is an American professional wrestler currently signed to WWE, where he performs on NXT under the ring name Velveteen Dream, and is the current NXT North American Champion in his first reign.

Professional wrestling career

Early career (2014–2015)

Clark trained to become a professional wrestler at the Maryland Championship Wrestling (MCW) Training Center, and made his debut under the ring name Rick Powers for the promotion after four months of training on October 3, 2014.[2] He continued to wrestle for MCW, winning the MCW Tag Team Championship with Lio Rush in October 2015.[11] In addition to working for MCW, Clark made numerous appearances for various American independent promotions during 2015 including World Xtreme Wrestling, Combat Zone Wrestling, Marvelous Puroresu USA, and Lancaster Championship Wrestling.

WWE

Tough Enough and training (2015–2017)

Clark was chosen to be a contestant in the sixth season of the WWE competition WWE Tough Enough, which began airing in June 2015.[4] Despite being tapped as one of the favorites to win the competition, he was eliminated in the 5th episode due to a perceived lack of humility, placing 9th overall in the series.[5]

On October 17, 2015, it was reported that Clark had signed a developmental contract with WWE.[6] He made his in-ring debut for the company at a NXT live event in Lakeland, Florida on February 5, 2016, losing to Riddick Moss.[7] He made his television debut on the July 20 episode of NXT, losing to Austin Aries.[8] On the October 19 episode of NXT, Clark confronted and challenged NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura but was attacked and beaten down by Nakamura.[9] Clark returned and had his first televised victory on the March 1, 2017 episode of NXT, defeating Sean Maluta.[10]

NXT (2017–present)

On the May 24, 2017 episode of NXT, Clark debuted a new Prince-inspired character called "Velveteen Dream" with no mention being made about his past accomplishments under his real name. In September, Dream began a feud with Aleister Black, where he constantly stalked and harassed Black in order for him to say his name. This led to a match at WarGames, where Dream lost. After the match, Black sat next to a dazed Velveteen Dream, before ultimately saying his name.[11] On the December 6 episode of NXT, Dream was supposed to face Kassius Ohno in a qualifying match for a number one contender's fatal-four way match for the NXT Championship; however, an injury suffered at NXT TakeOver: WarGames kept Dream out of competition, and he was replaced by Johnny Gargano, who defeated Ohno and later won the fatal-four way to become the number one contender. On the January 10, 2018 episode of NXT, Dream would interrupt Gargano's interview to mock him for taking 20 minutes to defeat Ohno, claiming that he could've beaten him in "30 seconds tops." On the January 24 episode of NXT, Dream challenged Gargano for his title opportunity, but lost the match. Following the match, Dream was confronted backstage by Kassius Ohno, who pushed him into a wall. Triple H confirmed that a match between Dream and Ohno would be signed for Philadelphia,[12] where Dream defeated Ohno.

During the rest of 2018, Dream participated in several TakeOver events. At New Orleans, Dream competed in the ladder match for the inaugural NXT North American Championship, which was won by Adam Cole,[13] at Chicago II was defeated by Ricochet,[14] at Brooklyn IV he defeated EC3[15][16] and at NXT TakeOver: WarGames was defeated by the NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa.

On January 27, 2019 at Royal Rumble Axxess, Dream defeated Tyler Bate in the finals of the Worlds Collide tournament to earn a future singles championship match of his choice on the NXT or United Kingdom brands.[17] Dream chose to challenge for the NXT North American Championship held by the new champion, Johnny Gargano. WWE decided to tape two endings, one with Gargano retaining the title and the other with Dream winning.[18] When the episode aired on February 20, 2019, Dream officially won the title.[19]
