#3 Velveteen Dream
With the allure of the artist known as Prince and a move set reflective of a cruiserweight, the Velveteen Dream has all the makings of a WWE legend.
His first appearance to a WWE audience was as Patrick Clark, the aspiring young WWE superstar that was part of Tough Enough.
Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?
Clark wasn't successful in winning the competition, but that didn't mean his dream was over. What it provided Clark was an opportunity to push himself, reinvent himself, and think outside the box.
A returning Clark also meant a reinvented Clark. Velveteen Dream has echoes of what Goldust was in the 1990s, adding a new persona that while still, like Goldust, playing on his opponent's inhibitions and throwing them off their game.
His strength, speed, and finesse in the ring have made Clark an unforgettable performer that fans will not forget to say the name of.
His feud with Aleister Black in 2017 not only stood out as NXT feud of the year but elevated him to a whole new level.
