The WWE Universe witnessed a big title change last night during WWE’s NXT as The Velveteen Dream defeated Johnny Gargano for the North American Championship. Gargano would fail to retain the championship in his first defense.
Despite all the accolades, hype, and stellar performances over the years, this happens to be the first championship that Velveteen Dream has held in WWE.
However, the WWE Universe weren’t the only ones congratulating Dream on his win.
Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events, and Creative, Triple H himself, was also eager to praise Dream’s performance.
Taking to Twitter, “The Game” wrote the following:
“Believing you are absolutely everything you say you are is necessary if you want to be a champion.
…backing it up is what ACTUALLY makes you one.
Congratulations to the NEW @WWENXT North American Champion, @VelveteenWWE. #DreamOVER”

Dream Over
Velveteen Dream has often been outspoken about being put onto the main roster. This extended to wearing tights that had “Call Me Up Vince” emblazoned on them. He has also drummed up interest by using social media, encouraging fans in the past to Tweet en masse at WWE demanding that he be called up to the main roster.
With this championship victory, however, it appears that the Dream may continue to be in NXT for the foreseeable future.
