Over the past few months, The Velveteen Dream has been taking shots at indie wrestlers especially Ricochet even before he made his in-ring debut at NXT. The two locked horns during the May 16th episode of NXT TV, but the match ended in a no contest due to Lars Sullivan interfering in the match. Things got more personal during the May 23rd episode of NXT TV when The Velveteen Dream left Ricochet to Lars Sullivan in their 2-on-1 Handicap Match. On the May 30th episode of NXT TV, it was confirmed that the two will battle at the upcoming NXT TakeOver: Chicago II PPV Event. During the segment, Ricochet did a flip which silenced The Dream.
Things have gotten really personal since then as over the last couple of weeks on Twitter, The Velveteen Dream has been taking shots at Ricochet and Ricochet didn’t take things lying down as he also took to Twitter and responded to The Dream’s comments about him. First, The Dream took to Twitter and commented about Ricochet’s indie career when he was Prince Puma at Lucha Underground and even saying that he can’t both be The Prince and The King. After a few days, The Dream once again took To Twitter and commented about Ricochet’s pay in the indie scene. Just recently, Ricochet decided to throw one of his own shots and reminded Dream of his WWE Tough Enough past where he was eliminated about halfway through the show, despite being one of the favorites. Ricochet wrote, “The result will be the same at Takeover: Chicago.” Aside from those tweets, there were a few other tweets that were exchanged by The Dream and Ricochet.
